Description 작품 소개
Stories always reach readers as finished books.
Yet the spaces where they are born—and the lives behind them—remain largely unseen.
Lalala of Lala Publishing opens the door to that hidden world.
Set in a small publishing house in Seogyo-dong, the novel offers a rare glimpse into the everyday life of a place where stories come into being. For book lovers, this unfamiliar setting becomes a source of quiet fascination.
In this modest space, people gather through books, and over time, their connections deepen.
Those carrying wounds, those who have lost their way, and those simply trying to endure each day come and go, gradually learning to look at one another with warmth and to share their lives.
In an era shaped by individualism, the novel gently asks what it means to care for another person—and reminds us how rare and valuable that act has become.
“Lalala” is more than a cheerful refrain.
It reflects a quiet determination to remain steady, even when life does not go as planned.
The author’s message is simple yet enduring: keep walking, even on uncertain days, with a “lalala” heart.
At a time when people claim that books are no longer read,
and when artificial intelligence can generate stories,
this novel leaves a lingering question:
Why do we still turn to books?
The answer unfolds not in grand statements, but in the lives of its characters.
There comes a day in everyone’s life when a book is needed.
Lala, named by her parents with the hope that she would live a joyful life, finds herself far from that promise in her mid-thirties.
One day, she walks away from her stable job and opens a small publishing house on a quiet hill in Seogyo-dong—where a fried chicken shop once stood.
People laugh at her choice. A publishing house, in an age that no longer reads?
But as the lights come on in the once-deserted alley, people begin to gather.
An unknown writer who has never seen a second printing.
A neighbor quietly carrying grief.
Young people standing still at the crossroads of their lives.
Crossing the low threshold of the publishing house, they slowly enter one another’s worlds—and, in doing so, begin to rewrite their own lives.
Lalala of Lala Publishing is a story about books, people, and the fragile yet enduring connections between them.
On the day you find yourself needing something to hold on to,
this novel invites you to knock on the door of Lala Publishing.
