''Hellen Jo's latest foray into her twisted world of Korean-American teenage violence and backstabbing is Blister, a bizarre two story collection that is just as fun to look at as it is to read. The first part is the actual Blister story, following the period-tormented Angela as she suffers one awkward day at the pool. The second story, "Jinju"... is a devilishly entertaining story of betrayed love and revenge, told in a really cool stylistic approach.'' - William Parschalk, The Johns Hopkins News-Letter Oct 27, 2006.
