Esther Yi
Esther Yi celebrates her debut novel Y/N, a strange tale about K-pop, fanfic, and what happens when you meet your idol.
Y/N—surreal, hilarious, and shrewdly poignant—is a novel about a Korean American woman living in Berlin whose obsession with a K-pop idol sends her to Seoul on a journey of literary self-destruction.
From a conspicuous new talent comes a provocative literary debut about the universal longing for transcendence and the tragic struggle to assert one’s singular story amidst the amnesiac effects of globalization. Esther Yi’s prose unsettles the boundary between high and mass art, exploding our expectations of a novel about “identity” and offering in its place a sui generis picture of the loneliness that afflicts modern life.
Esther Yi was born in Los Angeles in 1989 and lives in Leipzig, Germany.
