About This Book
Ten women writers, each with her own profession, share how they spend their time at home. Among them are Kim Gyurim, who calls herself a “stationery enthusiast”; Song Eun-jung, an essayist and lifestyle shop editor; Bonghyeon, an illustrator who also writes; translator Lee Jisu; branding director Kim Hee-jung; vegan advocate Kang Bo-hye; Kakao Brunch brand marketer Kim Kimi; Shin Ji-hye, co-CEO of Newground; Moon Hee-jung, who runs the one-person publishing house Munhwa Dabang; and illustrator and essayist Lim Jin-ah.
Like everyone else, they have found themselves spending more time at home in the face of the pandemic. The ways they use their homes - and deepen their relationship with them - are as diverse as their individual personalities, each offering its own unique charm. Although we are all passing through an unfamiliar and confusing time, we are also discovering new rhythms and vibrations within it, finding ways to sustain a sense of balance in our daily lives.
At home, we can relax and let our guard down, yet we also discover new, personal sensitivities that might not emerge outside. The unfamiliar within the familiar - those unnoticed aspects of everyday life - begin to reveal themselves in new ways. And as we always have, we continue doing what we can.
The homes of these ten writers vary in form, as do the people they live with. Yet they share one thing in common: home is the space where they can be most themselves. It is where they exist as who they truly are. As the place where we wake up and fall asleep each day, this book invites us to reconsider the home we may have taken for granted, and offers a starting point for reflecting on what each of us can do within our own space.
