Description 작품 소개
The internationally renowned and influential work of Ysra, who has won many awards including the prestigious ‘Most Prominent Contemporary Writer’ by Yes24 in 2023, voted by 450,000 readers and writers!
This novel centers around neither a patriarch nor a matriarch. It attends to a narrative that suggests a new form of family: filiarchy*. A girl, who was born and raised in the household governed by the grandfather, takes over. In the era where status is rarely inverted, the daughter turns the fortune of the family through writing books and becomes a head of it. While the unimaginable shifts continue, the filiarch also repeats the same mistakes the patriarchs have made. As the map of power tilts, the patriarch subsequently becomes just another member of the family. He forsakes the pre-conceived roles and authority as a man; further from them, he garners a renewed presence of charming midde-aged man. The man who once was a patriarch etches a mop on one arm and a vacuum cleaner in the other. He assists his daughter and wife by orchestrating most chores.
The filiarch sometimes derails, diligently reflects on her deeds and recognizes the efforts of the fathers who led in sustaining a household; mothers looked after everyone.
The novel also sheds light on different forms of labor, from writing to anything that involves physical activities.
Sra aims to be a more attentive and a caring filiarch. But does that necessarily mean a significantly better life to her mother, Bokee, as well? Would the era of a filiarch ensure happier days for everyone?
The novel of Ysra echoes with the landscape of today, where young women strive to ascend and establish themselves in all fields, and simultaneously transform the repeated geography of their family and of the world. Ysra states,
“There reside no matriarchs or patriarchs in their house. The age of filliach has begun.”
* Daughter who is a head of a family (created from the latin word, ‘filia’).
