Description 작품 소개
The Path Toward My Star is the award-winning debut essay collection by Jaye Jiyoung Yoon, a former business executive who transitioned into a career as a writer and artist. As the winner of the 12th Maewon Supil(Essay) Literary Award (2025), Yoon has been recognized for defining a new voice in the modern Korean supil tradition.
This collection offers a sincere and moving record of a woman stepping outside the trajectory of conventional success to find her "true self." By blending a unique personal history—including a childhood spent in the shadow of war in Baghdad—with professional struggles and an eventual artistic awakening, Yoon creates a resonant narrative for anyone searching for their own path.
The book is uniquely interwoven with the author’s own award-winning pastel paintings, recognized by the Society of Western Artists (USA) and the Pastel Society of Korea. These works serve as a visual extension of her internal journey, adding a meditative layer to the prose.
Through its emotional restraint, philosophical depth, and nuanced haehak (Korean humor), Path Toward My Star introduces English-language readers to the heart of the supil genre while exploring universal themes of identity, memory, and resilience.
