This essay is a study of the KLN Vol. 59 Featured Writer Kim Yeonsu. Discussing Kim’s short story collection A Future as Ordinary as This, Critic Cho Yeonjung explores each short story within the theme of remembering connections with others in life. Through Kim’s works, this essay highlights the power of storytelling, which allows people to take solace from their own suffering by “[referring] to the lives of others,” urging the readers to pay attention to the message of hope conveyed in the author’s writing.

KLN 59호 특집작가 김연수의 작가론 에세이다. 조연정 평론가는 김연수 작가의 단편 선집 <이토록 평범한 미래>를 읽으며, 타인과의 연결을 기억하는 삶이란 주제 의식을 중심으로 각각의 소설들을 논한다. "타인의 삶을 참조"함으로써 고통으로부터의 위안을 얻는 인간에게 있어 이야기의 힘이 얼마나 큰 지 김연수 작가의 여러 작품을 통해서 확인하며, 그의 소설이 전달하는 희망의 메세지에 주목하기를 요청한다.
