The Cabinet by Un-su Kim

emotional funny reflective medium-paced

this was a wonderful little book. the symptomers are so bizarre and weird and such an inventive concept. The structure balances a cyclical narrative, an anthology, and a linear narrative all at once. A meandering (affectionate)  satire that tackles analysing modern capitalism in South Korea & office worker culture in such a unique way. Though the ending did feel a little rushed and jarring, overall it was such a lovely read.
