Lyrical, at times hilarious, and always heartfelt, each of these ten stories is a reflection of individual choice in the face of man-made apocalypse: in a near-future Seoul, where air pollution has become so fatal that the city has been encased in a translucent biodome, a civil engineer charged with its upkeep contemplates an arranged marriage. A painter, disenchanted with New York City, travels to the South of France and falls into a dalliance with an entrepreneur who claims to have invented a new color. And on an island where the Indian and Pacific Oceans meet, upon which other countries have relegated their waste to form a mountain of landfill, a local boy facing daily privation gets internet famous for his K-pop-inspired dances. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the clear-eyed reverence of Richard Powers and the sparkling sincerity of George Saunders, Juhea Kim’s first story collection views our broken world—and broken hearts—from breathtaking heights. \u003ci\u003eA Love Story from the End of the World \u003c\/i\u003edelivers an impassioned reminder that we are human—but without nature, we are nothing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46696077459711,"sku":"9780063446397","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780063446397_s600x595.jpg?v=1780332537","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780063446397","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
