개인적으로 손원평 작가의 대표작 <아몬드>보다도, 이 책에 실린 단편 <상자 속의 남자>가 마음에 더 깊은 여운을 남긴다. 알지 못하는 누군가의 희생이 또 다른 누군가에게는 다시 살아갈 수 있는 빛이 되어주고, 그 빛이 또 다른 이를 살릴 수도 있다는 것. 그런 의미에서 우리 삶은 돌고 도는 가운데도 조용히 이어지는 연대의 힘으로 묶여 있음을 새삼 느끼게 된다.

"염세와 냉소로 자꾸만 기울어가는 마음을 붙잡아 당기는 힘은 결국 다른 사람의 존재에서 비롯된다. 그리고 세상이 더 나쁜 곳이 되지 않도록 버티게 하는 것도 서로의 존재라는 믿음이다”라고 했던 전기화 평론가의 말처럼, 우리는 그렇게 서로에게 손을 내밀고 손을 잡아주며, 어떤 상황 속에서도 연대의 힘을 통해 삶의 의미를 찾고자하는 존재인가 보다.

한국사람들이 느끼는 - 어쩌면 전세계적으로 느껴지는 - 갇힌듯한 느낌과, 죽이고 싶을만큼 커진 타인에 대한 미움과 두려움이 잘 전달되는 소설집이었다.

Short stories that feel like classic American stories that I read in high school. Liked the addition that potentially connects with another novel of hers. Her writing style does not disappoint as it goes into the mind of the characters. Some are a bit abstract but others leave you with a lingering feeling.
