Descriptions(Languages 2)
  • English(English)
  • Korean(한국어)

This is a collection of short stories by Jung Young Moon published in 1998. It is praised for sharply revealing the secrets of dark lives through the author’s uniquely clean and beautiful writing style, using allegory, fantasy, and metaphor.

1998년에 출판된 정영문의 소설집이다. 작가 특유의 군더더기 없이 깔끔하면서도 아름다운 문체와 알레고리, 환상, 비유 등을 활용해 어두운 삶의 비의를 날카롭게 드러내고 있다는 평을 받는다.
