Description 작품 소개

What would you do if the absolute is a misogynist? The multi-award winning author's novella provokes five unholy imaginations.

Yes, God descended on Earth in the very center of Seoul. Although the incident surprizes all the people, God's figure is actually all too
familiar. He looks like a white man without any disability. Almost like a hunk in one of those Michelan-gelo's paintings. Like we all have imagined. On the descendent day, while Young-hee prepared dinner for her farther in haste after work, her father murmured, “Well, God is indeed a man.” Eyes still on TV, lying on sofa. The look on his face practically is begging for respect only because what he and God have something in common. That moment, in a small kitchen, Young-hee's unholy imaginations begin.
