       Sarangbeop by Changhi Publishers." -- Verso 
520    "Love in the Big City is the English-language debut of 
       Sang Young Park, one of Korea's most exciting young 
       writers. A runaway bestseller, the novel hit the top five 
       lists of all the major bookstores and went into nine 
       printings. Love in the Big City is an energetic, joyful, 
       and moving novel that depicts both the glittering 
       nighttime world of Seoul and the bleary-eyed morning-
       after. Young is a cynical yet fun-loving Korean student 
       who pinballs from home to class to the beds of recent 
       Tinder matches. He and Jaehee, his female best friend and 
       roommate, frequent nearby bars where they push away their 
       anxieties about their love lives, families, and money with
       rounds of soju and ice-cold Marlboro Reds that they keep 
       in their freezer. Yet over time, even Jaehee leaves Young 
       to settle down, leaving him alone to care for his ailing 
       mother and to find companionship in his relationships with
       a series of men, including one whose handsomeness is 
       matched by his coldness, and another who might end up 
       being the great love of his life. A brilliantly written 
       novel filled with humor and emotion, Love in the Big City 
       is an exploration of millennial loneliness as well as the 
       joys of queer life, that should appeal to readers of 
       Sayaka Murata, Han Kang, and Cho Nam-Joo"--|cProvided by
