Eugene Lim Books in Order

Following their divorce, Jim Fog remains in a Midwestern town while Sarah Car moves to New York. An old friend's intervention entangles their separate lives, turning loneliness and attempts to move forward into an increasingly strange pursuit.

A dissident caught defacing presidential posters, a musician seeking the right shirt, filmmakers seeking recognition, and a detective aboard a cruise ship inhabit interwoven stories. Strange doubles and impossible connections unsettle the boundaries between their apparently separate lives.

Two Asian American boys bond over comics and feeling like outsiders, while superheroes in another world discuss society between missions. Their linked stories explore friendship, artistic frustration, and whether forms of protest can challenge the pressures of capitalism.

A grieving friend becomes convinced that the dead Frank Exit has returned as a dog. The resulting pursuit weaves through conversations about artificial intelligence, virtual reality, identity, and lost parents, questioning how people remember others and construct their stories.
