  THE BOOK:\n\nKim Byeongsu is losing his mind. Quite literally. He keeps f
 orgetting the little things in life\, like basic words\, whether or not he
  has a dog\, the last time he killed someone…\n\nIn his prime\, Byeongsu w
 as one of the best murderers around\, spending years obsessively trying to
  perfect his technique\, only killing in the pursuit of artistry. And then
  he gave it all up to be a dedicated father to his adopted-daughter\, Eunh
 ui. Now though\, suffering from the onset of dementia\, he decides to come
  out of retirement one last time and for one final target: his daughter’s 
 boyfriend\, who he believes is a serial killer just like him. After all\, 
 it takes one to know one.\n\nIn other dark and glittering tales\, an affai
 r between two childhood friends questions the limits of loyalty and love\;
  a family disintegrates after a baby son is kidnapped and recovered years 
 later\; and a wild\, erotic pursuit of creativity might just come at the e
 xpense of all sanity.\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR:\n\nKim Young-ha is the author o
 f seven novels\, including the acclaimed I Have the Right to Destroy Mysel
 f and Black Flower – and five short story collections. He has won every ma
 jor Korean literature award\, and his works have been translated into more
  than a dozen languages. He lives in Seoul\, South Korea.\n\nABOUT THE TRA
