  • Korean(한국어)

This is a novel by Wi Kichul, published in 2002. It is praised for addressing heavy themes such as feelings of helplessness, self-defense, and isolation of individuals living in modern times in a lighthearted manner.

2002년에 출간된 위기철의 장편소설이다. 현대를 살아가는 개인들이 갖는 무력감, 자기방어, 고립감 등의 무거운 주제를 경쾌한 방식으로 풀어나갔다는 평을 받는다.
