  • English(English)
  • Korean(한국어)

This is a collection of five short stories by Hyun Kil-un, published in 2009. The stories address the meaning of family and introspection, microscopically shedding light on the fundamental issue of “family.”

2009년에 출간한 현길언의 소설집이다. 가족의 내적 의미와 성찰을 다룬 5편의 작품이 수록되어 있다. '가족'이라는 근본적인 문제를 미시적으로 조명했다.
