Chang-Rae Lee discusses his latest novel The Surrendered. Lee weaves together a story of three people in the aftermath of the Korean War, and he weaves a profound meditation on the nature of heroism and sacrifice, the power of love, and the possibilities for mercy, salvation, and surrendering oneself to another.

Did I just hear you say there is an Illium, NY? Despite what Kurt Vonnegut says - I'm pretty sure there isn't. There _IS_ a Troy, NY, however.
