About This Novel
What will life be like when death no longer means goodbye? "If We Can't Move at the Speed of Light" is Jin Caoye's first collection of short stories and a dazzling start to her writing career. This collection of science fiction novels has sold a total of 250,000 copies in South Korea. It was selected as the 2019 book of the year by many authoritative media such as Chosun Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, Munhwa Ilbo, and Kyunghyang Shimbun. It was recommended by the Korean Culture and Arts Commission and the Korean Publishing Culture Association, and was selected as one of the "50 Novels of Our Times" by the Korean Literary Critics Association. Golden Grass Leaf single-handedly broke the question of "whether there are readers for Korean science fiction novels." The seven stories confront social contradictions and refer to the vast universe. A utopia that knows no love, an inaccessible distant universe, an astronaut jumping into the sea... Golden Grass Leaf weaves together the pain of reality, the grandeur of imagination, and the power of understanding, using science fiction to find the answer to real life - "Although it will be painful, it will also be happier."

Not too hard
It's a bit sci-fi, it's quite gentle. There are several heroine characters, some pursue freedom, and some are obsessed with personal thoughts. I don't mean that they have to be grand, I can only say that they respect their profession.
It's a very heart-warming book
It's so beautiful and warm🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰The imagination is also very rich. I support Korean women's application for UNESCO World Heritage.
It took nearly two hours to read it So the reason why pilgrims never come back and the source of happiness It's all ( )
Highly recommended! ! !
I really like it. Many of the fantasies about the future and space are very novel. I highly recommend it. It's definitely 100 points.
