현실보다 더 지독한 상상을 그린 윤고은의 첫 소설집

한겨레문학상 수상작인 『무중력증후군』을 통해 주목을 받았던 젊은 작가 윤고은의 첫 소설집이다. 작가는 특유의 기발한 상상력으로 자기만의 공간 속에서 사는 사람들의 이야기를 들려준다. 혼자 식사하는 법을 가르쳐주는 학원, 꿈을 대신 꿔주는 철학관, 폭설로 고립된 사람이 야생동물이 되는 무인 모텔 등 우리의 현실과 너무나도 밀접해서 정말 있을 법한 일들, 그러나 쉽사리 상상해보지 못했던 것들이 다양하게 펼쳐진다.

표제작 「1인용 식탁」은 회사에서 동료들과 어울리지 못하고 혼자 점심식사를 하는 사람의 이야기다. 그는 혼자 식사하는 법을 알려주는 학원에 등록하고, 그곳에서 자신과 같은 두려움을 공유하는 사람들을 만나 진짜 현실을 외면한 채 현실로 가장된 현실로 들어간다. 이 작품을 비롯하여 8편의 기발한 이야기들이 이 책에 실려 있다.

작가는 이번 작품에서도 어김없이 무거운 현실에 톡톡 튀는 상상력을 얹어 경쾌한 문체로 풀어낸다. 현실이 무거울수록 우리는 상상을 통해 일탈을 꿈꾼다. 그런데 그 상상이 현실보다 더 지독하다면 어떨까? 작가는 그 지독한 상상이 일상을 어떻게 채우고 있는지 생생하게 보여주고 있다.
