Plot

Having been adopted to the Netherlands as a child, Vincent feels lonely as a stranger in foreign lands throughout his childhood. However, Vincent does not believe that his sense of isolation as a stranger comes from his living in the Netherlands rather than Korea. Realizing that people become strangers the moment they leave their own world, Vincent thinks that he can continue living.

This is a short story from Baek Sou Linne's short story collection Chamdamhan bit (Miserable Light), published in 2016. The author’s works show miserable yet sacred rite-like lives of people who sense the boundary of their lives. The short story “Suchi” also features a protagonist who realizes the meaning of life through their identity of being a “stranger,” which sheds light on the trend of the author’s works.

2016년에 출간된 백수린의 소설집<참담한 빛>에 수록된 단편이다. 작가의 작품들은 삶의 경계를 예민하게 감각하는 자들을 주인공으로 삼아 참담하고 비의적인 삶의 모습을 보여준다. <수치> 역시 '이방인'이라는 정체성을 통해 삶의 의미를 깨달아가는 작품으로 작가의 경향을 확인할 수 있다.
