It's summer outside

바깥은여름

"Afternoon Solitude Under the Scorching Sun" by Kim Aeran, a "Genius Female Writer Born in the 1980s in South Korea" and winner of the 48th Dongren Literary Award, and Di An, winner of the People's Literature Award for Novel.
"Not many writers are capable of 'literarily' embodying 'present' life, but Kim Ae-ran's works demonstrate not only her ability but also her mature style and aesthetic. I hope you will find these seven stories of loneliness relatable."
"It's Summer Outside" is Kim Aeran's fourth collection of short stories, comprising seven stories. The protagonists in these stories often experience loss: the loss of a child, a father, or someone they could communicate with in their native language. Kim Aeran seems to intentionally fragment these painful experiences, evenly distributing them throughout the pages, allowing the pain to strike the reader's heart. Throughout this book, the author maintains her role as an observer and recorder of urban life, presenting a plain narrative that is close to life.
