Honey in the Wound

A lyrical and suspenseful debut novel about a mysteriously gifted Korean family confronting the brutality of the Japanese empire, Honey in the Wound is an epic tale of survival and the reclamation of power.

A sister disappears and returns as a tiger. A mother’s voice compels the truth from any tongue. A granddaughter divines secrets in others’ dreams. These women are all of one lineage—a Korean family split across decades and borders by Japanese imperialism.

At this saga’s heart is Young-Ja, a girl who infuses food with her emotions. She revels in her gift for cooking, nourishing the people she loves with her cheerfulness. But her sunny childhood comes to an end in 1931 when Japanese soldiers crush her family’s defiance against the Empire. Young-Ja is cast adrift, her food turning increasingly bitter with grief. When a Korean rebel fighter notices her talents, however, she is whisked off to Manchuria to join a secretive sisterhood of beautiful teahouse spies. There, Young-Ja finds a new sense of belonging and starts using her abilities for the resistance. But the Imperial Army is not yet finished with her…

Decades later, Young-Ja lives alone in Seoul, withdrawn from the world until her Tokyo-born granddaughter Rinako bursts into her life with the ability to see into dreams. In cultivating a tentative bond, they confront the long-buried past in a stunning emotional climax.

As an unforgettable family perseveres in the long shadow of colonialism, Honey in the Woundtransports readers to mountain forests where tiger-girls stalk, to Manchurian teahouses and opium dens where charming smiles veil secrets, and to the modern metropolises of Tokyo and Seoul where restless ghosts stir. This debut novel is a tender yet powerful multi-generational drama that shines light onto the twentieth century’s darkest corners and gives voice to those who bore witness.

How Black Music Took Over the World

In How Black Music Took Over the World, legendary bassist Melvin Gibbs explores the rhythmic DNA of the African diaspora. He reveals how a musical inheritance from Africa evolved into a global phenomenon that defines the sound of modern popular music.

The story centers on two fundamental rhythmic building blocks: the cell and the frame. Gibbs explains that these tools aren’t just technical structures; they are “vehicles for human movement” that allow music to transport listeners to another realm. Whether it’s the soulful cries of Nina Simone, the complex jazz of John Coltrane, or the modern pop mastery of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, the same African roots are at play.

Gibbs treats Black musicians as “scientists of sound” who have spent centuries refining their craft across church organs, electric guitars, and digital computers. Using his unique perspective as a world-class performer and music theorist, he traces how these sounds survived history’s hardships to become a universal language. It is a journey through history, mathematics, and soul that celebrates Black music as one of humanity’s most significant achievements.
