About This Novel
This book is a collection of short stories by Kim In-soon, a Korean writer and winner of the Horse Award. It writes about unspoken love and farewell, and reveals the true answer to life in the world of fireworks. The women in Kim In-soon's works do not express themselves through violent words, but maintain their inner compass in silence. They can be Haruyoshi in "The Ballad of Platycodon". At the wedding of her husband's illegitimate son, they finally let go of their grudges against their former love rivals, and reached mutual understanding and understanding through sympathy and pity; they can be the poets in "Forgiveness", who live alone in a foreign land with poetry as their company, and survive in poverty. Maintaining spiritual independence; it can be Lang Lang in "Adelina by the Water", as a reflection of his own desires, projecting the vivid and disordered reality; or it can be Mingyue in "Monk Dance", wearing a monk's uniform and performing a charming dance, with the coldness of his heart, against the indifference of the world. These stories are neither fierce accusations nor deliberately sensational, but reveal the power of tenacity and tenderness in the daily details.
