The Unconsoled #1
위로받지 못한 사람들 1
어딘가 있을지 모를 구원을 찾아 헤매는 사람들
머물지 못한 채 부유하며 살아가는 이들이 빚어내는
쓸쓸하고도 아름다운 고독의 하모니
『위로받지 못한 사람들』은 유명 피아니스트인 주인공 라이더가 성공을 위해 저버려야 했던 가치들, 즉 사랑, 가족, 부모, 어린 시절의 우정을 되살리기 위해 동분서주하나 결국 모든 것이 실패로 돌아가는 과정을 단정한 문체와 섬세한 분위기로 담담히 그려 냈다.
현실과 꿈, 과거와 현재와 미래의 경계가 가뭇없는 몽환적인 배경에서 전개되는 이 소설에서는 초기작 세 편에서와는 달리 초현실적이고 실험적인 작풍이 돋보인다.
