Description
In this haunting novel, an unnamed narrator drifts through the vibrant yet melancholic streets of Seoul, offering a peculiar service: guiding individuals toward their self-destruction while meticulously documenting their stories. His own life is a tapestry woven with an appreciation for art and a fascination with the darker aspects of human existence. As he becomes entangled with two women, Judith and Mimi, who share a connection to the same enigmatic man, the narrative explores themes of obsession, art, sex, and the ultimate confrontation with mortality. This atmospheric and compelling work, reminiscent of noir, delves into the intensity and aimlessness of lives lived on the edge, questioning the very right to self-annihilation.
