Lee writes deeply and hauntingly about conflicts between family, the powerful and the vulnerable, conformists and rebels. In the title story, drawn from the author's own memories of serving in the South Korean military, the class divide between a university-educated private and a working-class corporal serving sentry duty together one snowy night leads to tragic consequences.

Is she innocent or guilty? In the end, even she cannot say. Snowy Day and Other Stories introduces English readers to a master storyteller. …
