2016년에 출간된 황정은의 소설집이다. <양의 미래>, <누가>, <누구도 가본 적 없는>, <북경> 등 2012년 봄부터 2015년 가을까지 발표한 단편 8편이 수록되어 있다. 이들 작품들은 작가가 우리 사회의 일원으로서 통과해온 시간의 기록이라는 점에서 당대를 직접 반영한 주제들을 다루고 있다. 쓸쓸한 노인의 일상, 층간소음으로 발생한 이웃간의 공포, 비정한 목격자 등 혼자 감당할 수 밖에 없는 일상을 기록(<명실>, <누가>, <양의 미래>)하거나 서비스직의 감정노동문제를 계급의 문제로 바라본 작품(<북경>)들이 그것이다.

Published in 2016, this collection by Hwang Jungeun introduces eight of her short stories including “Kong’s Garden,” “Who?,” “No One Has Been There,” and “Beijing” which were released between 2012 and 2015. The stories in this collection deal with problematic themes that resonate in contemporary society— alienation and isolation. In the stories “Nobody, Just Myeongsil,” “Who?” and “Kong’s Garden,” the writer relates an aspect of someone’s daily life. whether it is the loneliness of old age, the terror created by the noise of the next-door neighbor, or the expendability of young people who are treated as a dispensable work force by society. In “Beijing,” the writer tackles the problem of people who are forced into emotional labor from the perspective of conflict between the social classes.
