Book Intro

(English) A Thousand Blues

If science fiction is a genre that predicts changes and developments around advancing technologies, this is a novel that stares at those fading into obscurity. The author takes a net of sentences woven with tenderness and elegance and gently catches those who became overlooked with the advancement of technology, those marginalized by a messy capitalist system, and those who were broken, wounded, and sunk below the surface.

This novel paints those who have faded away with vivid colors. In a world that changes every time we close and open our eyes, the author walks willingly with those who do not change and those considered to be the slowest and weakest.

 

(French) Les mille bleus

Le roman fortement recommandé par écrivaine Choi Jin-Young, réalisateur Min Kyu-Dong et actrice Son Soo-Hyun !

Le bleu, la couleur la plus chaude qui teindra la science-fiction.

Livre primé au Grand Prix littéraire de la SF coréenne dans la catégorie “romans”.

Tandis que la SF est un genre qui prévoit le monde d’avenir avec les progrès technologiques, Les milles bleus est un roman qui se focalise sur les êtres dont l’existence blêmit à cause du développement des Nouvelles technologies. 

Ceux qui sont exclus des avancées technologiques et du système capitaliste complètement cafouillé, ceux qui sont blessés, écrasés et puis submergés par la rude réalité… 

Cheon Seon-Ran met l’accent sur toutes ces personnes avec un regard chaleureux et élégant et elle les relève. Son roman met de la couleur vive dans leur vie terne.

* Livre primé au Grand Prix littéraire de la SF coréenne dans la catégorie “romans” en 2019.

Livre primé au 4e Grand Prix littéraire de la SF coréenne dans la catégorie “romans”.

Recommendation

"I've discovered a warm and brilliant novel that shows how to move forward together without excluding anything. I'm thankful and overwhelmed." - Choi Jin-yeong (Novelist), 2020 "This book sparkles with the blue of dense joy that can only be seen through the persistent solidarity of broken and injured little beings." - Min Kyu-dong (Film Director), 2020 "A means of moving fast and the view from the outside. It's hard to focus on the thin blades of grass because we're moving too fast. However, author Cheon Seonran turns her head and focuses on the blurry blades of grass. Even if she has no choice but to pass them by, she'll try her best to focus her eyes." - Son Su-hyeon (Actress), 2020
