100% Pure Rest

Short essay collection by the author of LOVE IN THE BIG CITY

In this travel essay collection, Sang Young Park recounts stories of his experiences living in Jeju Island, Bangkok, New York, and other places all over the world after his debut as a writer. Despite starting out as someone who always preferred resting at home and didn't particularly enjoy travelling, Park embarks on several trips across the world to escape the burnout that was exhausting him. This book offers a lighthearted look into his experiences of work, travel and rest, including his unpredictable encounters with different places and people, through which he comes to learn the value of taking intentional 'pauses' in daily life.
