[New Release] 'Gyeoul'

◆Winter= A novel that elegantly and delicately depicts the social issues and contradictions faced by British society, such as racism, misogyny, and LGBTQ+ rights. It is a hymn to humanity and harmony. With a gentle yet strong voice, it encourages us to reconsider the boundaries of self and others from a different perspective. At the center of communication lies art. It appears as a miraculous guide that expands human consciousness and connects hearts.

"God is dead. Let us start from here. Romance is dead. Chivalry is dead. Poetry, novels, and painting are all dead, and art is dead. Both theater and film are dead. Literature is dead. Books are dead. Modernism, postmodernism, realism, and surrealism are all dead. Jazz is dead, and pop music, disco, rap, and classical music are dead too. Culture is dead. Etiquette, society, and family values are dead. The past is dead. History is dead. Welfare systems are dead. Politics is dead. Democracy is dead. Communism, fascism, neoliberalism, and capitalism are all dead, Marxism is dead, and feminism is dead too. Political correctness is dead. Racism is dead. Religion is dead. Thought is dead. Hope is dead. Both fact and fiction are dead. The press is dead. The internet is dead. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google, are dead. Love is dead. Death is dead. Truly, so many things are dead."
