The Disaster Tourist Quotes

“And if you, the reader, hadn’t picked this book, the narrative would be different still. When I think of the trajectory created by these converging choices, I hallucinate a constellation of coincidences floating in front of my eyes. I’m a speck of dust, you’re a speck of dust; we float around in space until we meet by chance and pull each other closer. And then we swirl together, growing hotter and hotter, until we combine into a single sun. Summer 2020. From that tranquil, single sun. Yun Ko-eun © Lee Sang-min”

― Yun Ko-eun, The Disaster Tourist

“Unease is like a pair of shoes, allowing the artist to go where he needs to go.”
― Yun Ko-eun, The Disaster Tourist
