■ Details

"If you could hear the last thoughts of those who have left this world? The psychological autopsy center where the saddest stories gather. And a lone public phone left behind near it. A touching human fantasy that comforts both the departed and the left behind.

"The Last Phone Call" is a work that garnered great attention even before its official release. Solely based on its artistic merit, it was already touted as a highlight at the 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair, and before its publication, it had already exported rights to Poland, Romania, Turkey, and other countries.

The suicide of a loved one leaves behind deep wounds, resentment, and guilt for the ones left behind. Before grieving the loss of the deceased, questions like 'Why?' or 'How could this happen?' linger in the mind. What these people need is psychological autopsy. Psychological autopsy is the process of speculating the cause of suicide, which is also a key motif of this novel.

And "The Last Phone Call" is the device within this novel that completes the psychological autopsy. While such a public phone doesn't exist in the real world, we have this novel instead. Through this novel, which is like a gift from the divine, resentment and guilt will turn into sadness, and wounds will transform into solace, beginning a miraculous change."
