Description 작품 소개

Strangers is author Lee Seung-woo's tenth collection of short stories. It explores life's utterly incomprehensible principles, the inevitable misunderstandings and conflicts within even the closest relationships, and the unsettling, unreadable gazes that leave us bewildered.

Stories include "The Stranger" about news of a father's death arriving from Lesotho, Africa; "Wimbledon, Kim Tae-ho" about a mentally unstable chairman's past; "Charles" about a Korean man whose life intersects with a Malaysian man sharing the same Korean name; and "A Quiet Day" depicting cracks that emerge when a retired man is visited by his angry brother.

Author Bio 작가 소개

Lee Seung-U이승우

Lee Seung-U, a former student of theology, made his literary debut in 1981 with the novella A Portrait of Erysichthon. Throughout his career, Lee has maintained an interest in theological and metaphysical issues, which is reflected in his writing style that meticulously depicts the inner workings of the human soul. His works deal with questions about morals arising in quotidian life as well as more universal issues concerning God, salvation, and guilt. In particular, Lee’s novels since 2000 have inquired into the meaning of reality and the everyday, thereby bringing together the sacred and the secular, and the mind and the body. Published translations of his books include The Reverse Side of Life (Peter Owen, 2005), La vie rêvée des plantes (Gallimard, 2009), Ici comme ailleurs (Gallimard, 2013), and The Private Life of Plants (Dalkey Archive, 2015).
