What's Your "Last Resort"?
The Limited Edition is a special commemorative book, published each year in a limited run to celebrate the Seoul International Book Fair.
The Limited Edition, "믿을 구석 The Last Resort", poses a question: When the weight of life bears down on us, what is the last resort we can lean on to stand back up?"
In fiction, poetry, essays, and illustrations, fourteen authors reflect on what a last resort can mean—and how it takes shape in our lives.
We sincerely hope that this book—and your time at SIBF—will help you discover your own last resort. A new path may begin there.
