About This Book

One summer evening in Seoul, over 10 years ago, the grandest and most glamorous department store -- Sampoong Department Store -- collapsed, just like a lie.

Jeong, author of My Sweet Seoul and Today's Lie, deftly tells a story of a young woman, who once was her friend, recently forgotten, and killed in this horrific accident. While there seems to be no one in particular to remember and grieve the life and death of this "victim," she evokes long forgotten fragments of memories with her and puts out a painfully beautiful tapestry.

This collection also includes one more story of the same author and 8 stories by other novelists.
