[Introduction to Contents]
Can I live even if I erase all the past?
My other story that only I know
Memories from my childhood. People who raise a dog in sorrow of death in a small town hit by a fire. Dead older brother. A woman who lives hiding in the forest. Lost father. Mother's secret. Husband's scrapbook and actress who disappeared. The present and past mingle with each other and unexpected truth rises up.
There are many people who "disappear" in Song Bo-mi's work, especially women.
When all of our daily lives change 180 degrees suddenly due to external factors that have nothing to do with our own will. Even after our daily lives have collapsed like that, our lives continue. How can we live? This is my concern as a translator, but I can also read the small town of 『, 』, as a work that begins with such questions. (Omitted)
"I" decided to face the past when all of the truth was revealed. It also means that many women do not want to "disappear" anymore. In a situation where many women have collapsed in front of their own choices. Did my mother, who took everything as fate, lead a life without regret? What did my mother and the women who disappeared really want to protect Mi (grandchild? /?)
