A painter, disenchanted with New York City, travels to the South of France and falls into a dalliance with an entrepreneur who claims to have invented a new color. And on an island where the Indian and Pacific Oceans meet, upon which other countries have relegated their waste to form a mountain of landfill, a local boy facing daily privation gets internet famous for his K-pop-inspired dances. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the clear-eyed reverence of Richard Powers and the sparkling sincerity of George Saunders, Juhea Kim's first story collection views our broken world--and broken hearts--from breathtaking heights. \u003ci\u003eA Love Story from the End of the World \u003c\/i\u003edelivers an impassioned reminder that we are human--but without nature, we are nothing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67390831165485,"sku":"19343","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_51a79e96-1a57-4b8f-81fa-942a48b21285.jpg?v=1787347924","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/love-story-from-the-end-of-the-world-stories-1","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
