In search of love marginalized from love
—about how to treat the singular love, she wanted to know
In Love Isn’t Love represents the quintessential prose of Kim Soyeon, whose unparalleled poetic prowess and attentive, lyrical prose have amassed a loyal readership. In this essay collection, the author intends to understand love as a verb in a world where “to love” means to consume the noun “love.” In doing so, she accepts the diversity and flexibility of love, rather than fixing its meaning to a single concept, to activate love’s potential, even in the midst of today’s hollow version of it. Written in the third person with a touch of warmth, In Love Isn’t Love discusses from the female perspective the discourse on love that has long been dominated by male philosophers. “I hope this book is a very small beginning of the stories I can write about love,” writes the author of this collection, offering us the opportunity to reflect on love, or what it means to love.
