Overview

Wind, Wind, COVID-19, a collection of stories, reminds us that we human beings understand and love one another, both by criticizing the bare face of the reality revealed by the Covid-19 pandemic and by claiming the existence of “graceful wind” that brings spring.

Book Intro

As an epidemic sweeps across the world, people increasingly grow further apart. In spite of these social conditions, the author Seonhee Moon never stops exploring the human mind. Moon’s fictions insist on the recovery of absolute values that are being lost in this harsh reality. They depict the dignity of human beings and shed light on positive aspects of life which are sometimes found in daily routines and other times in unusual incidents. They also invoke the beauty of communications among the exhausted people of modern society.  

The title story “Wind, Wind, COVID-19” depicts the life of a housewife who goes about her daily routine in the whirlwind of COVID-19 that has become the new normal. Amid the pandemic, life goes on and, although being alone is the safest condition for survival, the truth remains the same that we must live together with someone beside us. The story reminds us that we human beings understand and love one another, both by criticizing the bare face of the reality that is revealed by the Covid-19 pandemic and by claiming the existence of “graceful wind” that brings spring.

Wet Fog” is a story about love and forgiveness. Samrye-daek, a woman who has a secret past from the Korean War, meets a veteran that has lost a leg during the war. Together, they make a harmonious couple and she even takes good care of her stepchildren. However, one day, as the ex-wife of her husband returns, the relationship between Samrye-daek and her husband begins to deteriorate.
