A collection of short stories questioning everyday life's value through a "remaining times" motif. The original novel for film "Number One." A 10-year-old boy avoids having mom's home-cooked meals, fearing the number of meals he have left might go zero, ironically wounding love. Six other tales explore numbers of finite calls, misfortunes, play and lifespan, revealing ordinary miracles in countdowns. Korean edition translated by Chun Sang Park.
