Description 작품 소개

Published in 2005, this short story collection by Kim Kyung-uk introduces nine of his stories, beginning with the title story “Leslie Cheung Is Dead?” In these stories, the writer delves into the meaninglessness of life to many young people in contemporary society, symbolized by Leslie Cheung, who killed himself on April Fool’s Day. The title story begins with the characters’ personal and yet insignificant memories, but it’s from this insignificance that the writer draws out their sense of solidarity and belonging, which ends with a flash mob, a visually representation of the limits and scope of their commonality.
