Where our night begins 우리의 밤이 시작되는 곳
A novel that depicts the meaning of wandering, growth, and death of a man and woman in their 20s who work at a funeral home, deep but not heavy. This novel won the 18th Segye Literature Award in 2022.
Jae-ho, who couldn't get a job and lived as a part-time worker, lost his part-time job and served as a helper at the funeral home. After midnight, he rides a motorcycle around downtown Seoul after work at the funeral home. He rides a motorcycle at night to forget the guilt of his sister's death and the hardships of his part-time life.
One morning, Jae-ho finds Marie working at the same funeral home at McDonald's. Marie, who failed the civil service exam after graduating from college, is also working at a funeral home after several part-time jobs. Since she is far from home, she has spent the night studying for the civil service exam at McDonald's to save money on transportation after her part-time job. Jae-ho decides to spend the night with Marie until public transportation starts operating at dawn. Their innocent night walks are light and fresh, but on the other hand, they evoke lonely and sentimental feelings.
