Plot

Jeong Jieun, a plastic surgeon, sees all kinds of people in the hospital. Blind in their desire for plastic surgery, they include people who wish to remain young and look beautiful, as well as those who want to cover up disfiguring injuries. Jieun feels thrown off by another set of people entirely: the middlemen who connect prospective patients to such hospitals, exploiting their desires and collecting a fee in the process.

2010년 출간된 정수현의 장편소설이다. 작품은 아름다움과 젊음에 대한 욕망을 다루고 있다. 작가는 성형수술을 통해 아름다워지겠다는 사람들의 성형에 대한 맹목과 저마다의 상처를 은폐하기 위해 성형을 고집하는 사람들을 통해 아름다움이 무엇인지 비판적으로 질문을 던지고 있다.

This novel by Jung Soohyun was published in 2010. It deals with the blind desire for beauty and youth among people hoping to get plastic surgery, as well as the motivations of those who wish to use surgery as a means to conceal disfiguring injuries. In this way, the book explores the meaning of beauty.
