A funny, transporting, surprising, and poignant novel that was one
of the highest-selling debuts of recent years in Korea, Love in the
Big City tells the story of a young gay man searching for happiness
in the lonely city of Seoul Love in the Big City is the
English-language debut of Sang Young Park, one of Korea's most
exciting young writers. A runaway bestseller, the novel hit the top
five lists of all the major bookstores, went into twenty-six
printings, and was praised for its unique literary voice and
perspective. It is now poised to capture a worldwide readership.
Young is a cynical yet fun-loving Korean student who pinballs from
home to class to the beds of recent Tinder matches. He and Jaehee,
his female best friend and roommate, frequent nearby bars where
they push away their anxieties about their love lives, families,
and money with rounds of soju and ice-cold Marlboro Reds that they
keep in their freezer. Yet over time, even Jaehee leaves Young to
settle down, leaving him alone to care for his ailing mother and to
find companionship in his relationships with a series of men,
including one whose handsomeness is matched by his coldness, and
another who might end up being the great love of his life. A
brilliantly written novel that takes us into the glittering
nighttime of Seoul and the bleary-eyed morning after with both
humor and emotion, Love in the Big City is a wry portrait of
millennial loneliness as well as the abundant joys of queer life.
