Description 작품 소개

The novel starts with the following sentence: “This is about the first travel. It started with a letter.” The letter was from MJ. “I” received the letter and is about to pack her luggage without reading the letter. My travel that started with a letter. Memories of MJ who sent the letter that suddenly arrived. The scenery, time, and emotions following those memories are restored. The two had been out of contact for a long time and won’t be able to recognize one another even if they ran into each other on the streets, why did MJ write “I” a letter? Without even thinking about the reason or the intention of the sudden letter, “I” starts to mold MJ in her own world. She recollects the pieces of memories, and the pieces make up an image. She goes back in time. On a piece of memory of what point or time she does not know, “I” stops, and recalls everything that is thought to be MJ, everything that lived in MJ’s world. She collects evidences that can be analogized, summoned. The boardinghouse MJ stayed in, the people who stopped by, sceneries, and stories rush in.

Author Bio 작가 소개

Bae is known for her use of abrupt shifts in tense and perspective, sensitive yet straightforward expressions, and seemingly non sequitur sentences to unsettle and distance her readers. Bae’s works offer neither the reassurance of moral conventions upheld, nor the consolation of adversities rendered meaningful.
