One hundred shadows
2024
Book
"In a Seoul slum marked for demolition, residents' shadows have begun to rise. No one knows how or why -- but, they warn each other, do not follow your shadow if it wanders away. As the landscape of their lives is torn apart, building by building, electronics-repair-shop employees Eungyo and Mujae can only watch as their community begins to fade. Their growing connection with one another provides solace, but against an uncaring ruling class and the inevitability of the rising shadows, their relationship may not be enough."-- Provided by publisher.
