■ Description

The first essay collection of novelist Kim Dong-sik, titled "The Gray Human," has been published. Kim Dong-sik, who has shocked the Korean literary world and readers with his unique works, records his personal life and life as a writer for the first time.

The first chapter, which begins with stories from his childhood spent in Sanbok Road, Yeongdo, Busan, can be summarized as "Who Am I." The author, who had never paid attention to himself, recorded moments of self-discovery and understanding. He candidly reveals his growth period, which was difficult yet enjoyable due to poverty, his unique taste in food and content that he was not aware of, his innate personality and characteristics in interpersonal relationships, and priorities in life.

The second chapter, which records life after becoming a writer, can be summarized as "Writing was a friend, happiness, and salvation to me." He talks about changes in his lifestyle and quality of life, interpersonal relationships, and self-esteem since his debut in 2017. With wit, honesty, and sometimes with a deep insight, he reveals how writing has remarkably changed one's life and what kind of novelist he wants to be, giving readers laughter, inspiration, and food for thought.
