Descriptions(Languages 2)

This is a novel by Choe Yun published in 2003. Effectively using the first and third person points of view, the author arouses readers’ curiosity about the character Jini and gradually draws them into her. The style of the novel, which pursues true, unfabricated beauty, is religious and even mythical.

2003년에 출간된 최윤의 장편소설이다. 이 작품은 일인칭 시점과 삼인칭 시점을 효과적으로 활용하며 독자들로 하여금 '지니'라는 인물에 대해 궁금증을 갖게 만들고 점차 매력을 느끼도록 만든다. 허구가 아닌 진정한 아름다움을 추구하는 소설의 문체는 종교적이고 신화적이기까지 하다.
