About This Book
Kim Young-ha has published a new prose work, 『One Life Only』. This prose collection, presented six years after 『Reason for Travel』, which received love from over 600,000 readers, is a collection of essays that were serialized in the paid email subscription service ‘Sub-zero Weather’ in 2024, and has been significantly revised and polished. ‘Sub-zero Weather’ was a service that was only available by invitation to early subscribers, and it attracted a lot of attention and received a hot response at the time of serialization.
『One Life Only』 is more personal and intimate than the author’s previous prose. Kim Young-ha speaks quietly as one of us who lives only one life, breaking away from the title of “Writer Kim Young-ha.” The sincere family history contained in the fourteen stories and the deep thoughts encompassing the moments of life experienced firsthand make us stop and think. How much do we live without knowing each other and ourselves? The thoughts converge on one question. How should I live the life that lies before me? This book does not offer easy comfort or obvious advice to readers. Instead, it makes readers look back on their own lives through honest experiences and concerns that are calmly expressed. Along with “One Life,” I recommend that you record scenes from your own life that you discovered during the time you left behind.
“Originally, I started writing the manuscript with the curious title ‘How to Use Life.’
However, I soon realized that I didn’t have much to say about life with confidence.
All I know is that I was given ‘one life.’”
