Set in a Seoul slum destined for demolition, this novella explores the haunting phenomenon of residents' shadows rising mysteriously. As Eungyo and Mujae, employees at a local electronics repair shop, witness their community's disintegration, they find solace in their growing bond. However, their connection faces challenges from an indifferent ruling class and the encroaching shadows. Blending magical realism with poignant social commentary, this award-winning work reflects on the futility of life in a capitalist society, enriched by an introduction and interview with acclaimed author Han Kang.
