This book is set in a slum electronics market in central Seoul – an area earmarked for demolition in a city better known for its shiny skyscrapers and slick-pop videos. Here, the awkward, tentative relationship between the Eun-gyo and Mujae, who both dropped out of formal education to work as repair-shop assistants, is made yet more uncertain by their economic circumstances, while their matter-of-fact discussion of a strange recent development leaves the reader to make up their own mind as to the nature of this shape-shifting tale.
