“죽……여주는 곳 맞죠, 여기?”
유해한 세계에서 스스로를 지키려는 그녀들의 고요한 선택
2020년 자음과모음 경장편소설상을 수상하며 작품 활동을 시작한 강민영 작가가 서스펜스 넘치는 신작 장편소설 《식물, 상점》으로 독자를 찾아왔다. “가장 신뢰할 수 있는 문장”(노태훈 평론가), “신인의 패기”(소영현 평론가), “정확한 문장으로 세계를 직조해낼 줄 아는 작가”(안보윤 소설가), “얼른 다른 사람들에게 보여주고 싶다는 마음”(이종산 소설가)이 들게 하는 이야기라는 찬사를 받으며 등장한 이래 꾸준한 자신만의 행보를 보여온 작가의 시선이 마침내 닿은 곳은 비밀이 가득한 어느 상점이다. 시대의 불안한 삶을 예민하게 드러내면서도 고립된 여성을 구해내는 작가의 서사는 여전하고 거기에 전에 없는 스케일이 진전을 이룬다.
특유의 차분하고 신비로운 감성으로 지역 내 핫플레이스가 된 '식물, 상점'. 구옥을 고친 자못 독특한 이 가게를 운영하는 여자 사장, 최유희. 상점과 주인 모두 섬세하고 아름답다. 하지만 상점이 문을 닫는 늦은 시간이면 유희는 호미와 삽을 들고 고요히 마당으로 향한다. 때로는 곱게 갈린 무언가를, 때로는 톱에 잘린 어떤 덩어리들을 흙 속에 묻는다.
몇 차례의 연애 실패 후 마음을 닫았던 유희에게 한 남자가 다가온다. 유희는 잠시나마 희망을 품어보지만 결국 남자가 자신을 이용하려 한다는 사실을 알게 된다. 식물을 함부로 대하는 태도와 '쉬운 여자'라는 발언까지, 자꾸만 선을 넘는 남자를 향한 유희의 분노는 점차 끓어오른다. 그런데 '그날의 사건' 이후 얼마의 시간이 흐르고 평정을 되찾은 유희에게 사람들이 찾아온다. 저마다 어느 곳에서도 해결해주지 못한 문제들을 안고 여자들이 유희의 상점 문을 두드린다. 그들은 문을 열며 말한다. “죽……여주는 곳 맞죠, 여기?” 한편 형사 차도경은 '식물, 상점' 주변에서 남자들이 계속 실종되는 것을 의아하게 여기고 유희의 주변을 맴돌기 시작한다. 과연 유희와 그녀들의 비밀은 드러나게 될까?
