Almond
by Won-pyung Sohn
Almond is a novel by a Korean author that tells the story of two boys whom society labels as "monsters" because they don't conform to conventional expectations. One of the boys has a condition called Alexithymia, which prevents him from feeling emotions, making it difficult for him to understand fear or other basic survival instincts. The story is incredibly unique, offering a perspective rarely explored—one told through the eyes of someone unable to feel emotions.
This book resonated deeply with me, as I'm writing a story about two boys. While my book is entirely different, Almond has reinforced my belief that it’s possible to write a compelling, meaningful story centered around child protagonists, even if the book is intended for an adult audience.
