Description 작품 소개

This is a novel by Yoon Ko Eun, published in 2013. The author critically presents the connection between the earth in ruins and capital through the protagonists who commoditize the images of disasters, breaking away from the heavy and apocalyptic world of the existing disaster narratives. This novel shows the author’s clear intention to break with the old utopia without ignoring the weight of reality. In July 2021, this book received the 2021 Crime Fiction in Translation Dagger award from the UK Crime Writers’ Association.
