Title of the work; 'Knot' (from Park Kyung-sook's short story collection, Blade of the Fog) Author; Park Kyung-sook Publisher; Blue Thought Hello? This is Genie. Today, I will tell you about Park Kyung-sook's short story 'Knot'. This novel, which is a letter from the lover of a lonely woman who lost her love and whose family relationship has collapsed, describes the paradoxical nature of modern marital relationships. It shows that modern marital relationships are about knowing your wife well but living without knowing her at all. 'Knot', which is polished in a very lyrical and beautiful style, will deeply move readers. Enjoy your time. [Writer Park Kyung-sook] Born in Geumsan, Chungcheongnam-do, and raised in Seoul.
