off.\u003cbr\u003e The task of literature is to abandon the desire to quickly conclude mourning and to embrace this ambiguous feeling that cannot be shaken off because it is impossible to interpret.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, it must be rewritten and reread forever.\u003cbr\u003e Every day, like laborers, workers, and farmers, until night falls upon us again. (p. 49)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A novelist is someone who is in the process of becoming a novelist.\u003cbr\u003e A novelist is someone who is currently writing a novel.\u003cbr\u003e If there is a spiritual element to novel writing, this is it.\u003cbr\u003e A novelist writes novels to become himself. \u003cbr\u003e(……) Every time I try something new, I fail. That is the fate of every novelist, after my debut, after my soot. (pp. 52-53)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kim Yeon-su, who is probably always “a person who writes novels,” was born in 1970.\u003cbr\u003e Over the past decade, the young writer Kim Yeon-su has spent her entire forties.\u003cbr\u003e In his forties, in the midst of adulthood, he directly and indirectly witnessed, heard, experienced, endured, and faced events such as the Yongsan tragedy, the sinking of the Sewol ferry, the blacklist in the cultural world, and the candlelight vigils of 2016.\u003cbr\u003e His gaze, questions, and concerns have become more sensitive and deeper in the meantime.\u003cbr\u003e In his time, of course, ‘we’ were also there.\u003cbr\u003e It was a time that he and we passed together, endured together, and faced together.\u003cbr\u003e In it, we closed our eyes for days, lost our words, and put down our pens.\u003cbr\u003e It took quite some time to open my eyes again, find my words, pick up my pen, and return to my daily life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe author constantly asks, over and over again, what can an individual, unable to control even the time of his own life, do in the great flow of history that moves the world?\u003cbr\u003e What can literature do, what can art do… … and these questions ultimately come down to the problem of writing, which is his vocation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The questions and some of the answers in this book may help us to reaffirm what power made Kim Yeon-su the novelist she is today.\u003cbr\u003e Where was the starting point of his literature\/writing, and where is he headed through his writing?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If the time we delay becomes our own life, how should we endure it? This question led me to this novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I am interested not in history that functions properly on a macro level, but in history that is endlessly delayed in the lives of individuals. \u003cbr\u003eI am drawn to the coincidences, myths, and fates that humans create to endure the time when causality is delayed.\u003cbr\u003e (……)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Our lives resemble a river that meanders down the stream.\u003cbr\u003e Human time often lags behind and sometimes even flows backwards.\u003cbr\u003e Every time that happens, we fall into deep darkness, but I think that's when we have to go with the flow.\u003cbr\u003e When we completely surrender ourselves to the history that flows ceaselessly even in the darkness, we become post-modern humans, contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e Then I can fully understand humanity.\u003cbr\u003e Still, when we surrender ourselves to the flow of history, fearless of loneliness in the depths of the night, our despair can be read by one another.\u003cbr\u003e The consolation of literature begins here. (pp. 296-301)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBy reading books, seeing paintings, movies, and plays, meeting people, and encountering events he cannot understand or handle, he 'writes' without rest, and continues, more and more, ceaselessly, 'becomes' a novelist.\u003cbr\u003e And, while we 'read' him who 'writes' without rest and asks questions incessantly, we discover together the time of 'nevertheless'.\u003cbr\u003e That power takes us one step further.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To endure this, novelists write novels, directors make movies, and poets write poetry.\u003cbr\u003e Likewise, to endure, people read novels and poetry and watch movies.\u003cbr\u003e They must read and write every day, not to complete their mourning, but because mourning is impossible. (p. 44)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book may be our diary, written and read together, through him. \u003cbr\u003eAs each of us progresses little by little in our own ways, the daily records he writes as a writer and as an individual ultimately become the story of us all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSo, the reason why you love someone so much is because they are irreplaceable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e _A story that ultimately leads to the light\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Kim Je-hoon's mother, Lee Ji-yeon, says that no matter how dark it is or how long it takes, she can wait.\u003cbr\u003e Instead, he said he wanted to do something in the meantime, and that he plans to resume calligraphy, which he had done for about ten years but had stopped due to illness.\u003cbr\u003e (……) While waiting in the darkness, Lee Ji-yeon says.\u003cbr\u003e “The feeling of brushstrokes on my fingertips is vivid in my eyes.\u003cbr\u003e “I think it would be great if I could do what I want and become a great light in the hearts of others, a bright light.” (p. 83)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the darkness, even a little light feels dazzling. \u003cbr\u003eLight in the darkness.\u003cbr\u003e It's a light for just one person.\u003cbr\u003e That's why it's a miracle.\u003cbr\u003e Even after losing a son, we know that he wants to be a light in the hearts of others, even without experiencing it ourselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the diaries of the past ten years, we have spent some nights together.\u003cbr\u003e And within it, we could also find small lights.\u003cbr\u003e This book is a record of the nights he and I spent together, and a record of the small light we discovered within them.\u003cbr\u003e Even though it may feel like we are in a state of despair right now, we are ultimately moving towards the light, together.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the dark, we see only darkness.\u003cbr\u003e That is the sorrow and despair of humanity.\u003cbr\u003e A person in darkness needs light to see this world differently.\u003cbr\u003e (……) I don’t know how to escape from sadness and despair and look at this world differently. \u003cbr\u003eIsn't it similar to seeing the world in such a new light, like the Easter scene in my hometown, where I woke up one night and all the flowers in the neighborhood were in bloom? (p. 94)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The last chapter of this book, \"ps Thoughts on Love, 2014,\" is a short story that can be said to be a story about the books Kim Yeon-su has read over the past ten years, records of the world, questions about writing, and the light she discovered within them.\u003cbr\u003e Love that is only possible after it is over.\u003cbr\u003e It is always only later that we realize that it was love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Now all I can think of is your back.\u003cbr\u003e What did his face look like? I try to think about it, but I only see his back, just his back.\u003cbr\u003e Even though I didn't love your back, I only remember your back as you turned and walked away on the autumn street, and your back as you fell asleep, sweating, in the summer room.\u003cbr\u003e (……)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It's a strange thing, isn't it? \u003cbr\u003eI thought that when you were by my side, it wouldn't matter if I didn't have hands or feet or a heart, or even if I never existed in this world in the first place.\u003cbr\u003e Still, I was born into this world, saw and learned so much, and grew up like that. In this world, not only I but countless other people live, and among all those people, there is someone like you, and it seems like a miracle that we met and fell in love.\u003cbr\u003e My usefulness was there. (pp. 327-328)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Things that you only realize after the fact, and the records of them.\u003cbr\u003e This may not be just love.\u003cbr\u003e Perhaps this novel is a different answer to the questions the author has been asking over and over again for the past decade.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of publication:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 22, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336 pages | 380g | 130*200*18mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791196722005\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1196722005 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43893953888298,"sku":"134771","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/ead70a3ea8777c45171535c9d71c8747.jpg?v=1765426196","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/134771","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
