What a set of short stories!
Table for one is a set of short stories that explores lonliness and expectation in South Korean culture.
This is a genre bending collection, surreal, horror, speculative fiction.
Its a short little bset but I had to pause often to reflect on the message the author was giving.
I also found there to be a lot of autistic coding in the book which I greatly enjoyed. So many of the charectors where exploring special interests in both fulfilling and unfulfilled ways.
I'll be reading through all of Yun Ko-Yuens work after this introduction. What a talent!
Thankyou Netgalley for this ARC.
