City of Orange

In "City of Orange" by David Yoon, a man awakens in a mysterious landscape, disoriented and injured, with only a head wound and a bottle of pills as his possessions. As he navigates this strange environment and grapples with fragmented memories of his past, including a daughter with a name he can barely recall, he encounters an old man, a crow, and a boy who challenge his understanding of reality. With themes of identity and the quest for home, this harrowing yet humorous narrative explores what it truly means to piece together the essence of oneself.
