About This Book
Beloved by great numbers of readers of all ages, Gong Jiyoung has
released her new novel The Field of the Stars after five years of
silence. The new novel is a collection of six interrelated stories that
the writer completed while traveling back and forth between Korea and
Germany. While centering on the characters associated with Berlin, the
writer, with her refined sensibilities and fast-paced style, explores
the passions and glorious moments of those destined to fall in love and
their memories of sorrow and forgiveness.
The writer has an extraordinary capability of touching the hearts of her
readers. In this book, her sharp insight into the changes of the world
and her sensuous sentences reveal a far more mature literary competence.
Berlin is the place that appears most in this series. Other literary
works describe Berlin as the place of the Cold War and the Post-Cold
War. In this book, however, the capital of Germany is where the lives of
those wandering in search of true life after the loss of their love and
ideals are dynamically interlaced. The writer vividly recounts the
voices of various characters from a woman with the indelible trauma of
domestic violence to a foreigner committed to the historic place of the
Gwangju massacre. These voices help readers experience the novelistic
world with great intensity.
