An Ordinary Being: The Commentary Book - Eight Letters Exchanged Between Lee Seok-won and Moon Sang-hoon 보통의 존재: 코멘터리 북
On November 4, 2009, the first edition of An Ordinary Being was introduced to readers. Filled with honest language about hope and despair, people and love, the book immediately received explosive support from readers in their twenties and thirties and has continued to do so ever since. Life Pattern Korea.
Fifteen years later, now over fifty, the author took up the pen again for the readers who have “believed in and supported this book,” revisiting the first book he wrote at thirty-eight. With his uniquely sincere voice, he adds layers onto An Ordinary Being—revealing the “5% of lies” included in the original text, the feelings behind them, and stories that were “right then but wrong now.”
In addition, An Ordinary Being: The Commentary Book — Eight Letters Exchanged Between Lee Seok-won and Moon Sang-hoon features a special guest. Comedian and writer Moon Sang-hoon joins as a “representative reader,” contributing eight letters exchanged with the author. Life Pattern Korea.
The deep conversations shared by these two multi-disciplinary artists—twenty years apart in age and separated by fifteen years of time—become an unexpected gift to readers.
