Kim Yonha, one of the most striking Korean writers of our time, describes in his novel one day in the life of a North Korean intelligence officer, who lived in Seoul for the past twenty years, acquired a family and completely turned into an ordinary resident of South Korea, when he suddenly received an order to return north. In this concise period of time, the author makes not only the dramatic personal fate of the hero, but also the discussion of the complex political history of Korea and the characteristics of the modern society of his country. At the same time, Kim Yonha demonstrates his position to the readers of the unfinished observer, which has already become the hallmark of the writer.
