SynopsisThe nine stories that make up this collection depict a wide variety of contemporary Koreans navigating a world focused on material wealth and social power, in which family ties have been disrupted and all relationships are dysfunctional. Unpredictable and enigmatic, these tales, though taking place in what would appear to be a shallow, materialistic environment, are nonetheless woven through with rich threads of imagination and fantasy: parables for the self-help age.
The stories are like all the great Japanese ones of the last century. This Korean writer is on a par with Tanizaki and Soseki for psychological depth and twists and turns of the narrative. Revealing characters and arresting plots. This goes back to the best eras of the I novels of Japan in tradition and is a fitting tribute to those masterful storytellers.
