The Second collection of short works by members of the Busan Writing Group, following the release of "Nothing Too Familiar" in 2015. This year's collection features the works of authors in Seoul as well as in Busan, and presents stories in the theme of "Convergence". These stories were all submitted during workshops with the Busan Writing Group, and feature works from authors in Busan and Seoul. The stories were critiqued and edited by workshop members, and were then compiled by TCC Edwards into this collection.
