Longlisted for the Prix Médicis étranger 2024
Young is a gay man in his twenties in Seoul, and his closest ally is Jaehee, the straight best friend he shares a cramped studio with. Together they drink too much, spend money they don't have, swap notes on terrible dates and see each other through heartbreak. But when Jaehee settles down, the party ends, and Young returns home to care for his ailing mother, a devout Christian with whom much has been left unsaid.
Told in four linked parts and translated by Anton Hur, Sang Young Park's novel follows Young through friendship, illness and a string of loves, offering a funny, frank and tender portrait of growing up queer in contemporary Korea.
