The previous book in this series (Trembling) was out of print, so I bought and read it secondhand. I am also looking forward to the good writings about love included here.
The cover is pretty and the illustrations are lovely. I'll enjoy reading it.

After reading 'Trembling,' I happened to come across the sequel, 'Excitement.' While reading this book, I constantly felt a sense of regret that I had not become a writer myself.

Kim Hoon et al.: Excitement (Trembling, the second story)
*Selem* explores the true meaning of love in this era. In this book, 14 prominent authors—including Kim Hoon, Yang Gwi-ja, Park Beom-shin, and Lee Soon-won—candidly and uninhibitedly, yet with a poignant touch, share stories about their romantic lives, such as unrequited love and first love. Additionally, the inclusion of sentimental illustrations by Chloe, an illustrator known for her work in love-themed essay collections, adds depth to these love stories. *Selem* calmly unfolds narratives remembered under the name of love, ranging from stories about a husband married after leaving behind a romance with a romantic manga protagonist, enduring bonds, first experiences that have now become hazy memories, special love for a stepchild, pure first love, love in one's twilight years, and the tale of marrying an eccentric senior. By sharing the emotions welling up from deep within their hearts without reservation, the authors convey the message that love is ultimately a force that overcomes everything, and that the wounds and memories of love can serve as the strength to live on. Let us encounter the authors' real love stories—not mere fiction—that are sometimes heart-wrenching, sometimes heart-fluttering, unconventional, and candid.
