Plot

The people of the small town of Cheokju on the east coast are locked in a conflict over the issue of attracting a nuclear power plant in the town. In addition, someone is mysteriously killed in a limestone mine, and a pseudo-religious group called the Yagwangseongdohoe spreads secretly throughout the town, ravaging the townspeople. In this town, where everything is on edge, Song In-hwa, Seo Sang-hwa, and Yun Tae-jin's love begins. In a town divided into those who are in favor of and against nuclear power plants, where people make efforts to solve the mysterious murder, Song In-hwa does not give up on the person she loves.

This is a novel by Choi Eunmi, published in 2017. It was originally serialized in the quarterly magazine Munhakdongne under the title Cheokju from the summer of 2016 to the spring of 2017, and was later revised and refined and published in the book form. The conflicts and confrontations surrounding social issues, as well as underlying human emotions such as desire, madness, anxiety, and pain are embodied in precise and meticulous sentences.

2017년에 출간된 최은미의 장편소설이다. 2016년 여름부터 2017년 봄까지 계간지<문학동네>에 <척주>라는 제목으로 연재했던 작품을 수정하고 다듬어서 장편으로 출간한 것이다. 사회적인 이슈를 둘러 싼 인간들의 갈등과 대립, 욕망과 광기, 불안과 고통 등 밑바닥에 깔려 있는 인간의 감정을 치밀하고 꼼꼼한 문장으로 형상화했다.
