StockID: 172352 SKU: 0226DQ0585
A romantic thriller exploring the dark corners of human desire and isolation with quiet eeriness--for fans of Moto Hagio and Nick Drnaso. Choi Sungmin’s Narrow Rooms follows a young woman who leaves her rural hometown to study in Seoul and seek self-improvement. But once there- she quickly becomes the target of unwanted attention from her teacher- and the whispers of other students only deepen her alienation. Living in a cramped- poorly soundproofed room- the suffocating atmosphere begins to further distort her boundaries and perceptions. Longing for escape- she fixates on a handsome new neighbor- her fascination spiraling into obsession: She secretly rummages through his mailbox- collects his discarded cigarette butts and teabags- and hoards his trash. But when she discovers something unsavory about the object of her desire- will she be forced to confront the morals of her own behavior? Translated from the Korean by Janet Hong.
