Description 작품 소개

This short story collection by Kim Taeyong was published in 2012. It features eight short stories in total, such as “The Tomb of Water,” “The Puddle,” “Without a Head, Without a Waist,” and the title story. In these stories, the author rejects both the world and its boundaries, subverting the narrative form and reconfiguring literary prose. The characters in the stories are either on the verge of death, on the borderline between wakefulness and delusion, or unable to tell whether they are a patient or a corpse. By giving voice to their thoughts, the author makes possible those stories that are otherwise impossible to tell.
