Not as pleasant and easy to accept as dramas or K-Pop, I have the right to destroy myself by Kim Young Ha brings another piece of the contemporary Korean urban puzzle, melancholy, sad and containing many hidden meanings.

This slim book is led by an unnamed narrator who works as a psychological consultant.

Among countless lonely souls drifting in the city space, the narrator met Se Yeon, the mannequin girl, and Mimi.

This short novel with a rather shocking title turns out to be written in a rather calm tone.

After the more pure works that appeared in Vietnam such as Take care of mother (Shin Kyungsook), When the buckwheat flowers bloom (Lee Hyoseok), Who ate all the singa plants that day (Pah Wan-Suk

A more extreme continuation of countless urban melancholy in literature, this chilling little novel is deeply unpleasant and not necessarily universally sympathetic.

Born in 1968, Kim Young Ha studied business administration but finally decided to become a writer.
