The debut novel pick by Hwang is already a bestseller in the author's native country of South Korea. The book centers on a hen who wants to have a chick of her own but finds all her eggs taken by the owners of the farm on which she lives. She resolves to try to escape. "There's a whole other level of meaning," Nelson said of the story. "It's about friendship, it's about life and death, it's about being a parent."
