You wouldn’t guess from meeting Paul Yoon just how sick he is of people. But if you’ve read his work, you know he’s no stranger to the violent side of the human heart. YOON: I would say it’s like being a boxer, but my wife would be like, “Please,” because she actually boxes. YOON: The book’s coming out in August, which, as we speak, is maybe three weeks out, which is insane. YOON: I think it’s because I grew up feeling really alone, because I never knew a lot of my family members.
