thought i wouldnt like the first novella, but after reaching the last page, i found myself lingering on d’s "Why is my loved one not with me?" as i kept rereading the homecoming part over and over. even though i feel like the topics that hwang jungeun brought up in "d" may be a little too grand for a novella, which at times made it feel fragmented, but overall the message and nuance still came across.

"Shame is what saved me. (...) Yes, it may well be a hundred years ago now, but in all those years it’s stayed with me. (...) My grandchild and daughter say I live in a scrapheap and they’re ashamed of it, but I don’t see the shame. I know shame, and this isn’t it. It’s natural, not shameful, for the living to be surrounded by life’s scraps, natural and unavoidable."

"I'm not writing for the sheer joy of writing; so many things have happened to me that I must write if I am not to lose my reason.
(...) For I am frightened. Fear creeps up on me from all sides, and I don't want to wait until it gets to me and overpowers me. I shall write until darkness falls, and this new, unfamilliar work should make my mind tired, empty and drowsy."
