I was thrilled to receive a complimentary copy of Paul Yoon's The Mountain from the publisher, because I loved his novella Snow Hunters so much. Words I used to describe Yoon's writing then hold true to this collection of short stories: quiet, gentle, exquisite. Yoon has a way of packing so much into his sparse prose! This is the kind of writing that makes you feel like you're holding your breath so you can listen more closely. There were spots that moved a little too slowly for my taste, but overall this collection satisfied my need for a book I could relax into and simply enjoy.
