I went to the bookstore run by Asia publishers and the editor working there recommended this book to me. I have no idea why she did, but I did enjoy it. The feeling is very melancholy, and gives a sense of the futility of life, but it's also very different from other contemporary Korean fiction I've read. I'll be looking out for more books by this author.
