Not knowing if you can hold your wedding is an anxiety many couples will be all too familiar with of late, as Covid-19 pandemic restrictions throw nuptial plans into disarray. But South Korean science-fiction author Kim Bo-young's novella I'm Waiting For You takes wedding uncertainty to intergalactic extremes. In it, a young couple on different interstellar voyages try to synchronise their returns to earth so they can make it to the altar on time. But the slightest deviation while travelling through space can mean delaying arrival on earth by months, even years. As connections are missed, travel plans are derailed and the planet itself begins to fall apart, the couple keep trying against the odds to reunite at not just the same place, but the same time. The epistolary novella is one of four in I'm Waiting For You And Other Stories, Kim's first short story collection to be translated into English.
