# Diary of a Murderer: And Other Stories - Paperback

[**Report copyright infringement**](https://reportcopyrightinfringement.com/)

by **Young-Ha Kim** (Author)

"Filled with the kind of sublime, galvanizing stories that strike like a lightning bolt, searing your nerves . . . It's easy enough to see why Kim . . . is acclaimed as the best writer of his generation; pick up this book and find out for yourself." -- _Nylon_

**_It's been twenty-five years since I last murdered someone, or has it been twenty-six?_**

_Diary of a Murderer_ captivates and provokes in equal measure, exploring what it means to be on the edge--between life and death, good and evil. In the titular novella, a former serial killer suffering from memory loss sets his sights on one final target: his daughter's boyfriend, who he suspects is also a serial killer. In other stories we witness an affair between two childhood friends that questions the limits of loyalty and love; a family's disintegration after a baby son is kidnapped and recovered years later; and a wild, erotic ride about pursuing creativity at the expense of everything else.  
From "one of South Korea's best and most worldly writers" (NPR), _Diary of a Murderer_ is chilling and high-powered all the way through.

"Kim is expert at finding the humanity inside the other, the comedy inside the tragedy, and the twisted within the seemingly normal." -- _CrimeReads_
