-Book Introduction
Pieces of writing possible with deep counting
Enduring and enduring, finally revealing the possibility of love
“Through neat sentences and sincere stories,
It counts our tender hearts.” - Choi Jin-young (novelist)
Lim Ji-eun, who has been loved by essay readers for her strong sentences and serious reasons in her first prose book, "Love all year round," has published her second prose book, Pieces of Understanding, at Anon Books. In this book, Lim Ji-eun shows a deeper and broader understanding. Lim Ji-eun's counting is looking at it for a long time. Lim Ji-eun embraces the dark side and even the darkness of situations that those who have been watching for a long time inevitably encounter. Lim Ji-eun's memories of her beloved grandmother and childhood memories, passing others and news articles, are all year round, regardless of the subject. After that, he counts to the end of himself and looks at it. Even the hypocrisy and lies stagnant there are exposed. Thus, Lim Ji-eun's counting is a support. It is bound to be love that endures and endures the process of discovery and examination and finally discovers it. Fragments of the possibility of becoming love, not completed love. The shining fragments of counting hidden within us are quietly shining in Lim Ji-eun's sentences.
