“그 알지도 못하는 것 때문에 도대체 난 인생을 얼마나 허비한 거냐.”

삶과 죽음이 펼치는 아름답고 차가운 그림자극,
오래 기다려온 정소현 소설의 품위 있는 귀환

삶의 어둡고 적나라한 민낯을 진정성 있는 태도로 대면해온 작가 정소현이 첫 소설집 이후 7년 만에 신작 소설집 『품위 있는 삶』을 들고 돌아왔다. 기발한 상상력과 우리사회를 꿰뚫는 깊이 있는 시선으로 2019이효석문학상 최종심에 오른 「품위 있는 삶, 110세 보험」을 비롯해 총 여섯편의 단편이 실렸다. 이들 작품은 각기 다채로운 이야기와 반전으로 한순간에 독자를 사로잡으면서도 종국에는 묵직하고 진한 여운을 남긴다.

예기치 못한 죽음, 혹은 미리 준비하거나 설정해놓은 죽음 앞에서 허덕이는 인간을 다룬 이 작품집은, 우리의 삶 아래 묻혀 있던, 뒤에 숨어 있던, 외면하고 싶던 비참한 현실을 매끄러운 문장과 긴장감 넘치는 이야기를 통해 낱낱이 드러낸다. “주변을 둘러싼 세계를 괴로울 정도로 정확하게 느끼게 될 것을 각오하고 읽기 시작”(정세랑 추천사)해야 할 이 소설들은, 어정쩡한 위로나 되다 만 공감 같은 것이 아닌, 지금 여기를 직시하게 하는 힘, 날카로운 현실 감각을 선사할 것이다.
