{"product_id":"bo-mi-son-swell","title":"Bo-mi, Son - Swell","description":"A short story collection revolving around\ndifferent Korean lives which blend and\nintertwine between each other.\nEach story in SWELL launches from the common but pivotal moments\nthat determine the course of everyday life, but they're often filtered\nthrough the perspective of someone else: documentarians, novelists,\nstorytellers, gossips. Then, as the stories build atop one another and\nintertwine, they begin to shift and destabilise. Characters return but their\nhistories are changed, alternate timelines open, and no one is ever who\nthey were.\nLike an optical illusion this book offers two complete pictures. Viewed as\nindividual stories, contemporary Korean lives are rendered with\nsensitivity and realism-relationships tatter and bereaved loved-ones\nsearch for ways to move on. Viewed as a complete collection, though, a\nstranger narrative emerges, in which there is perhaps some invisible logic\nbehind everything, incomprehensible to us. Wholly original, SWELL,\ntranslated by Janet Hong, is a book full of trap doors, hidden\npassageways, and the unsolvable mystery behind everyday life.","brand":"Two Lines Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback Book","offer_id":51136515703062,"sku":"RMX-65239","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/3c1e12c6a8703ec5fa15e77ca57ee64d.jpg?v=1774530568","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/bo-mi-son-swell","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
