Plot

The story follows the lives of fifty different individuals, all related in some way to a large university hospital. This tale of intertwined lives shows that it is the responsibility of society, and not merely of the individual, to resolve the problem of pain and suffering.

2016년에 출간된 정세랑의 장편소설이다. 2017년 제50회 한국일보문학상을 수상했다. 2016년1월부터 같은 해 5월까지 '창비 블로그'에 연재했었다. 작품은 수도권의 한 대학병원을 중심으로 50명의 주요인물의 이야기를 펼쳐낸다. 각자가 겪고 있는 고통과 슬픔이 혼자만의 것이 아니라는 것을 중점적으로 제시한다. 50명의 작중 인물의 이름을 장(章)제목으로 사용했다.

This novel by Chung Serang was published in 2016 and won the Hankook Ilbo Literary Award in 2017. It was originally serialized in a blog run by Changbi Publishers from January to May 2016. Following fifty different characters whose lives are in some way centered around a metropolitan university hospital, the novel demonstrates that the pain and suffering one experiences is not only one’s own. The names of the fifty characters were used as titles for the book’s chapters.
