Plot

Ahn, a 28-year-old Korean who earns a living by working part-time at a convenience store, uses all the money he gets from winning the lottery to bid in an auction for a meal with Warren Buffett. Ahn unexpectedly wins the “Lunch with Warren Buffett” and goes to the United States. However, due to Buffett’s scheduling conflict, he ends up having dinner with Buffett. Yet, on the way to meet Buffett, Ahn finds out that the roads have been blocked due to anti-capitalist protests, and unable to stand his hunger, Ahn ends up grabbing a hamburger for dinner. Buffett comes to have a dinner he has never imagined before and begins to examine the meaning of his charity auction.

This is a short story by Park Min-gyu, published in 2014 as one of ASIA publisher’s K-fiction series. The novel is based on the annual luncheon events hosted by Warren Buffett, an American known as the investment genius. With the author’s characteristic cynicism, the story reveals unforeseen situations that go beyond normal expectations.

2014년에 출간된 박민규의 단편소설로 K-픽션 시리즈 중의 하나이다. 소설은 투자의 귀재로 알려진 미국의 워런 버핏이 개최하는 오찬 이벤트를 소재로 삼았다. 이야기는 보통의 기대를 뛰어넘는 뜻밖의 상황을 박민규 작가 특유의 냉소로 보여주고 있다.
