Summary
What's in the Blue Suitcase?
Djuna’s Wild New Ride Through Time, Protest, and Parallel Worlds!
From Korea’s most fearless and genre-bending cultural critic — now in their 32nd year on the frontlines — comes a dazzling new sci-fi adventure!
Our narrator grew up in a time-traveling collective devoted to people’s liberation. Now, they set off with Princess Yeo-hwa — royal heir to a liberated Goryeo — to unravel the mystery of a certain blue suitcase.
On their journey: an alien species called the Galam surviving 200 million years into Earth’s future, a swarm of doppelgängers created through unstable timelines, and AIs who’ve only ever learned the emotion of fear. This genre-bending story bounces between 1980s Busan-Masan and wintry Seoul in 2024 — with space opera flair and revolutionary spirit.
This is speculative fiction the Djuna way: sharp, funny, political, and utterly unpredictable.
“We’ve landed in the middle of another protest.”
January 4, 2025. Night. Even colder than last time. The crowd was still chanting for impeachment.
“There’s no way out,” said Yang-goob.
“And honestly,” added Yung-mal, “leaving now feels rude. This seems important to the people here.”
“That lunatic hasn’t been impeached yet?” asked the princess.
“The path to a republic,” I said, “is always long, tangled, and painfully thorough.”
