The most beautiful story, begun from outside of beauty.
Since its online serialization in 2008, "Pavane for a Dead Princess" has remained a steady seller for 17 years, and is now receiving fresh attention again ahead of the film release. Life Pattern Korea. In this revised edition presented with a new binding, the story adds what comes 17 years later for the novel's "I" and "she", and for Yo-han, delivering an even more expanded emotion to readers.
Set on the outskirts of Seoul in the 1980s, this novel portrays the friendship and love of an "unattractive" woman and two wounded young men, and it delicately digs into the inner lives of youths who could not help but be shaken before enormous forces like lookism and the capitalist system. Life Pattern Korea. What begins at their part-time job site in a department store goes beyond a simple romance plot, and comes to represent the self-portrait of the overwhelming majority who cannot be absorbed into the glossy standards of wealth and beauty, and the emotional history of a generation that tried to protect its existence outside those standards.
Amid the era's landscape in which consumer culture spread densely - Madonna, Michael Jackson, Kentucky fried chicken shops, and more - Park Min-gyu shines a light on true love and human warmth through a character branded with "ugliness", and directly questions a looks-centered order.
