This novel by Han Kang was the winner of the 13th Kim Dong-ri Literary Award in 2010. It depicts the process in which the protagonists, who are on the boundary between life and death, identify the truth of their madness and desire. The author comprehensively addresses the topics that she had been dealing with in her shorter works.

2010년 제13회 동리문학상 수상작인 한강의 장편소설을 출간한 것이다. 삶과 죽음의 경계에 놓인 주인공들이 각자의 광기와 욕망의 정체를 확인해 가는 과정을 그렸다. 작가가 그동안 단편적으로 다루던 주제들을 종합적으로 다루었다.
