Summary:
"In 1977, in a small, poor village near Inwang Mountain, where tiny houses clambered up a granite ridge, a family's eldest grandson Donggu got a sister, Yeong-ju, who is six years younger. With a grandmother who nags his mother about everything and doesn't hesitate to thresh grain on him, and a father who only asserts his patriarchal authority, Dong-gu's family was like "a group of bewildered people standing at each of the four crossroads with a broken traffic light"... Dong-gu couldn't read Korean until he was in the third grade, and he was often treated as a nerd, a retarded child, and a "stupid guy" at school and at home. Then, his third-grade homeroom teacher, Park Yeong-eun, noticed Dong-gu's dyslexia and, through after-school tutoring, helped him. However, in 1980, Dong-gu heard the news that Teacher Park had gone missing in the turbulent event of May 18th... In 1981, He questions himself, "How on earth can our family of four remain together?" -- Kyobobook.co.kr.
"1977년, 인왕산 인근 "화강암 바위로 이루어진 산줄기에 손바닥만 한 집들이 고물고물 기어올라 있는 조그만 달동네", 한씨 집안 장손 동구에게 6년 터울의 여동생 영주가 태어난다. 사사건건 엄마를 들볶고 자신에겐 타작을 서슴지 않는 할머니와 가부장의 권위만 내세우는 아버지, 영주가 있기 전 동구네 가족은 "신호등이 고장 난 네 갈래 길에 각각 서 있는 당황한 사람들" 같았다... 동구는 3학년이 되도록 한글을 읽지 못하고 학교서나 집에서나 천덕꾸러기, 지진아, "덩둘한 놈" 취급을 받기 일쑤다. 그러던 중 3학년 담임인 박영은 선생님이 동구의 난독증을 알아차리고 방과 후 학습을 통해 동구의 착한 심성과 내면의 아픔까지 세심히 바라봐준다... 그러나 1980년 동구는 박 선생님이 5·18 격류에 휘말려 실종되었다는 소식을 듣는다. 뒤이어 이어지는 1981년 마지막 기록은 "도대체 어떻게 해야 우리 네 식구가 한 가족의 울타리 안에 남아 있을 수 있는 것일지"에 대한 동구의 먹먹한 대답이다." -- Kyobobook.co.kr.
