A woman meets her next-door neighbor and loans her a spatula, then starts suffering horrific gaps in her memory. A man, feeling jilted by an unrequited love, becomes obsessed with sorting through his neighbor's garbage in the belief that it will teach him how to better relate to people. A landlord decides to raise the rent, and his tenants hatch a plan to kill him at a team- building retreat. In ten captivating, unnerving stories, Flowers of Mold presents a range of ordinary individuals - - male and female, young and old -- who have found themselves left behind by an increasingly urbanized and fragmented world."-- back cover. 650 0 Interpersonal relations|vFiction. 650 0 Neighbors|vFiction. 655 7 Short stories.|2lcgft 700 1 Hong, Janet. 830 0 Korean literature series.
