from eMerge Unchained · host eMerge Unchained

In this episode of eMerge Unchained, host Chad Gurley talks with queer Korean American writer Yuna Kang, whose short story Mi Ha-rin will appear in the September 2025 issue of eMerge Magazine.Yuna shares how their work blurs the line between poetry and prose, often born from vivid images, abstract phrases, and the emotional tension of love, loss, and alienation. From childhood stick-figure storytelling in library books to shaping speculative and deeply intimate narratives today, Yuna reflects on identity, queerness, and the multiverse of choices that haunt and inspire their characters.Along the way, they open up about finding their voice in a world that often demands silence, weaving nature and diaspora into their writing, and confronting the political weight of expression in dangerous times. With honesty and humor, Yuna explores how writing can be both a deeply personal practice and an act of resistance.Whether you’re fascinated by experimental prose, drawn to stories of queer love and longing, or simply curious about how images become narratives, Yuna’s conversation will leave you thinking long after the episode ends.Send us Fan MailSupport the showFind Us Online Athttps://emerge-magazine.com

Phillips Oppenheim (1866 - 1946) LibriVox Herbert Wrayson, a bachelor returns to his flat one night to find a young lady rifling his desk. He questions her and finds she thought she was in the apartment of his neighbor, Morris Barnes, who lives above him. While he is on the telephone, she quietly slips out of his flat and heads to Barnes’ abode. A few hours later, she is once again at his door – this time looking scared and faint. She asks Wrayson to escort her downstairs as the hallway is unlit. As they emerge, a hansom sits at the doorway with Morris Barnes in it. But, they discover that Barnes has been strangled. Wrayson soon learns that the young lady is the estranged older daughter of a club acquaintance, retired Colonel Fitzmaurice. He also discovers that he has fallen in love with her. The big question however, has he fallen for a murderess? How can he discover the truth? In typical Oppenheim style, this “whodunit” weaves a tangled web and one must wait until the end to discover the surprising truth. (Summary by Tom Wei
