No One Writes Back

No One Writes Back

Author(s): Eunjin Jang, Yewon Jung

Location(s): South Korea

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): early 2000s

Communication – or the lack thereof – is the subject of this sly update of the picaresque novel. No One Writes Back is the story of a young man who leaves home with only his blind dog, an MP3 player, and a book, traveling aimlessly for three years, from motel to motel, meeting people on the road. Rather than learn the names of his fellow travelers – or even invent nicknames for them – he assigns them numbers.
