Winter in Sokcho by Elisa Shua Dusapin
3.0
The winter in Sokcho is cold, detached and lonely. Where even food doesn't fill you up.
The story of a non-ambitious girl working in Sokcho meets a French Comic Book writer. What follows is exploration of Sokcho and internalized feelings. The good or the bad aspect of the book is that it always brushes above a subject.
It's like a passing cloud, you can see the attraction, the detachment, the resentment, the love, the thoughts and the behaviours of but you never really touch the matter. There is a social distancing between people and the story.
The pages feels layered with frost. Characters are formal with eachother and distant. Only a woven loneliness to connect them.
All I wonder, is this coldness is what the writer wanted us to feel. Is this how writer sees Sokcho. I will have to look at other materials to know.
