A collection of short stories by Gyeong Ran Lee who has captured Korea's dark social shadows. It confronts the mocked "K-ajae" (middle-aged men) as symbols of social gloom. Boys grow and arrive at streets littered with patriarchal ruins and capitalist debris. Through microscopic and telescopic lenses, it examines middle-aged men's isolation and downfall, questioning how personal tragedies mirror the era, reclaiming space for alienated figures in Korean literature.
