Kim Aeran debuted in 2002 with the short story "A House That Doesn't Knock" and has since published short story collections such as "Run, Daddy," "Saliva Collects," "Contrail," "Outside Is Summer," the novels "My Palpitating Life," "One of These Two Is a Lie," and the essay collection "A Name Easy to Forget."
