Love in the Big City is an energetic, joyful, and moving novel that depicts both the glittering nighttime world of Seoul and the bleary-eyed morning-after. Young is a cynical yet fun-loving Korean student who pinballs from home to class to the beds of recent Tinder matches. He and Jaehee, his female best friend, frequent nearby bars where they push away their anxieties about their love lives, families, and money with rounds of soju and Marlboro Reds. Over time, even Jaehee leaves Young to settle down, leaving him alone to care for his ailing mother and to find companionship in his relationships with a series of men, including one whose handsomeness is matched by his coldness, and another who might end up being the great love of his life.
Love in the Big City is an exploration of millennial loneliness as well as the joys of queer life, that should appeal to readers of Sayaka Murata, Han Kang, and Cho Nam-Joo.

Sang Young Park was born in 1988 and studied French at Sungkyunkwan University. He worked as a magazine editor, copywriter, and consultant before debuting as a novelist. The title story of his bestselling short story collection, 'The Tears of an Unknown Artist, or Zaytun Pasta', was one of Words Without Borders’ most read pieces ever. He is the author of Booker International-longlisted 'Love in the Big City' (translated by Anton Hur). He lives in Seoul. Anton Hur was born in Stockholm, Sweden. He was double-longlisted for the International Booker Prize for his translation of Sang Young Park's 'Love in the Big City' and Bora Chung's 'Cursed Bunny' and longlisted for the inaugural National Book Critics Circle Awards Barrios Prize for Kyung-Sook Shin's 'Violets'. He also translated Baek Sehee's international bestseller 'I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki' and co-translated 'Beyond the Story: 10-Year Record of BTS'. He also contributed to Tilted Axis' anthology 'Violent Phenomena: 21 Essays in Translation' (edited by Dr. Kavita Bhanot and Jeremy Tiang).
