Coming Fall 2023: Hwang Jungeun's DIDI'S UMBRELLA.
From acclaimed Korean author Hwang Jungeun comes DIDI'S UMBRELLA, twin novellas centered on national tragedy, mourning, and revolution.
Di is a sensitive person living in quiet, romantic bliss with their partner, Didi. But when Didi suddenly dies in a bus crash, Di is catapulted into a melancholy, aimless existence. As Di struggles with their personal grief, the country around them grapples with a catastrophic event and its political aftermath: the death of 304 ferry passengers, including 250 high-school students, in the sinking of MV Sewol. Meanwhile, an inquisitive writer whose small world encompasses her same-sex partner, her sister, and her nephew, researches a book she may never write. Gradually, the works she reads help her build a framework solid enough to harbor the lives of other overlooked people like her.
