Park appeared on the American science fiction scene in 1987 and quickly established himself as a writer of polished, if often grim, literary science fiction. His first work was the
Starbridge Chronicles trilogy, set on a world with generations-long seasons much like Brian Aldiss' Helliconia trilogy. His critically acclaimed novels have since dealt with colonialism on alien worlds (
Coelestis), Biblical (
Three Marys) and theosophical (
The Gospel of Corax) legends, a parallel world where magic works (
A Princess of Roumania and its sequels,
The Tourmaline,
The White Tyger and
The Hidden World), and other topics. He has published short stories in
Omni Magazine,
Interzone and other magazines.
