About Book

우리가빛의속도로갈수없다면

What will life be like when death no longer means final farewell?
"If We Can't Travel at the Speed ​​of Light" is Kim Cho-ye's first short story collection and a dazzling debut in her writing career. This science fiction collection has sold a cumulative 250,000 copies in South Korea and was selected as the 2019 Book of the Year by numerous leading media outlets, including Chosun Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, Munhwa Ilbo, and Kyunghyang Shinmun. It has also been recommended by the Korea Culture and Arts Council and the Korea Publishing Culture Association, and has been selected as one of the "50 Novels of Our Time" by the Korean Literary Critics Association. Kim Cho-ye has single-handedly dispelled the skepticism surrounding the existence of an audience for Korean science fiction.
Seven stories confront social contradictions while simultaneously gazing into the vastness of the universe. A loveless utopia, an inaccessible universe, an astronaut plunges into the ocean... Golden Grass Leaf weaves together the pain of reality, the grandeur of imagination, and the power of understanding, using science fiction to find answers to real life—"painful, but also happier."
Everyone on this planet is both a majority and a minority. If we have ever encountered setbacks, we will surely be understood and accepted in the story of the Golden Grass Leaf.
