“Vivid . . . These stories, in which class divisions form impassable rifts and submission to the status quo comes at great psychic cost, have much to say about our contemporary reality." —The New York Times Book Review

“What a gift to have these stories translated, finally, into English!” —Ari Aster, director of Midsommar and Hereditary

The first story collection published in English by Lee Chang-dong, one of South Korea’s most celebrated and influential literary and cinematic figures


Much like Lee Chang-dong’s internationally renowned films (Burning, Secret Sunshine, and Poetry), these brilliant, unsettling tales, originally published in Korea in the 1980s and now translated into English for the first time, investigate themes of injustice, betrayal, and terror—on both an intimate and national scale. Lee writes deeply and hauntingly about conflicts between family, the powerful and the vulnerable, conformists and rebels.

In the title story, drawn from the author’s own memories of serving in the South Korean military, the class divide between a university-educated private and a working-class corporal serving sentry duty together one snowy night leads to tragic consequences. In “There’s a Lot of Shit in Nokcheon,” the psychological violence that two brothers enact on each other over the course of a lifetime captures the darkness and paranoia that pervaded Korea in the 1980s, as the country struggled toward democratic rule. And in the novella-length “A Lamp in the Sky,” a young woman’s brutal interrogation at the hands of the police reveals the series of increasingly troubling decisions that led her to this moment. Is she innocent or guilty? In the end, even she cannot say.

Snowy Day and Other Stories introduces English readers to a master storyteller.

Light Weight but Not Hot
Color: Dark Grey, Size: King
Ok... I absolutely love this comforter. In fact, I use it on three different beds. The colors are perfect. The material is soft. It's extremely light weight, but it keeps you warm in the winter and does not overheat you in the summer. I have this in King and Queen, and the sizing has been good for both. I have thrown it in my washing machine multiple times, and it holds up well. Great quality, low price.

Navy is pretty, but doesn’t feel like a great quality set.
Color: Navy Blue, Size: King
I purchased the Navy. The color is great and the pleated pattern is a nice touch. My daughter has the white and it’s very soft. The navy is not, though. So that was disappointing. It’s also not breathable. It’s not thick, but just not breathable. I actually get pretty warm at night with this one when I don’t normally with any other blankets. It also seems on the small side. We have a king and always buy king, this just feels a little smaller. Doesn’t feel high quality. I would not buy again.

Very Elegant!!
Color: Bright White, Size: Full/Queen
Beautiful comforter set! its super fluffy light weight while still cozy, gives a clean expensive look. It arrives wrinkled up from being packaged, i never steamed mine but you could do that if you want a crisp look. I love the quality and looks more expensive then it was, highly recommend!

Excellent buy!
Color: Blush, Size: Twin/Twin XL
I LOVE this set! It is perfect all year long! I fold it down in the summer to just cover my feet. In the Fall it’s perfect weight alone and in the colder months I use a blanket underneath! Everyone says it’s Beautiful! The color stays true wash after wash! It retains its shape well also! The pillow case is exactly like the cover! It also retains color & shape! It’s soft and you can just curl up in it! The quality is just as good as some other very expensive brands! This is great value for the money!
