2018년에 출간된 정세랑의 소설집이다. 표제작을 비롯하여 <웨딩드레스44>, <이혼세일>, <해피 쿠키 이어>등 모두 9편의 단편이 수록되어 있다. 작품들은 과로로 돌연사한 언니를 애도하기 위해 '돌연사맵'을 만들거나 과자공장에서 일하던 외국인 유학생이 과자 귀를 갖게 되거나 조직의 부조리를 고발했다가 해고당하는 등 누구나 관심을 가지고 있으며 문제적이라고 여기는 상황들에 대해서 작가 특유의 따뜻하고 경쾌한 상상력을 동원해 이야기로 만들었다.

Published in 2018, this short story collection by Chung Serang introduces nine of her stories including “Wedding Dress 44,” “Divorce Sale,” and “Happy Cookie Ears.” The characters in the stories include workers who make a map of deaths caused by overwork as a way to mourn the deaths of their co-workers, a foreign student who works at a cookie factory and develops cookie ears, and a whistleblower who gets fired. The stories are full of quirky and unexpected humor and imagination.
