Themes running the length of the book include collisions between culture and growing up with very flawed parents in a flawed society. Some aspects of the story are firmly rooted in Korea such the feeling of floor blankets shared with both family and extended family including a drunken and questionable uncle and a beloved Aunt that died too young. At night, the countryside and the streets of Bupyeong were teeming with ghosts, goblins and other demons (of course not to be confused with Christian demons). Also, for the author's boyhood self, mythological animals were real. Potentially lethal encounters with high speed trains and older neighborhood kids some parts of this story could have happened anywhere.
