a novel that follows the life of deokgeun, an office worker in korea. though that seems simple, he's in charge of filing cabinet 13, which contains the symptoms of a variety of strange people, and people who want to be a part of cabinet 13. there's a person who wants to be a cat, a person who's removed their memories, a man who's in love with his doppelgänger, and such. deokgeun starts speaking to them and sort of investigating them. 
this was definitely a fun read! it was interesting to see everything that the author managed to come up with. it serves as a good commentary on normalcy and why we alienate people in society, why people find certain things weird and inappropriate. why is it that some things are considered undesirable and others are just regarded as unique? this was sort of constructed like a collection of mini stories, and i liked that, since they're still connected. i liked the absurdist elements of this novel, and some parts made me giggle a bit.
