Description 작품 소개

The first short story collection to be published by Lee Jangwook, a multitalented writer whose effortless mastery of poetry, prose, and criticism has secured his place within the contemporary literary landscape, The King of Confession is a compilation of eight works that attracted significant attention and acclaim upon their initial publication. Demonstrating a restrained yet compelling style, vivid imagery, and meticulous narrative composition, his short stories gift their readers with an unforgettable taste both intense and unfamiliar, guiding them into a strange space-time where every day and fantasy, truth and falsehood, authenticity and illusion can no longer be distinguished.
