How friendship, Western literature, and a charismatic professor defy war, oppression, and the absurd Collection in 1980s South Korea amid the tremors of political revolution, I'll Be Right There comes after Jung Yoon, a highly literate, twenty-something woman, as she recounts her tragic personal record as well as those of her three personal college or university friends. When Yoon receives a distressing telephone call from her ex-boyfriend after eight many years of separation, memories of the tumultuous youth start to resurface, forcing her to re-live the most strong period of her life. With deep intellectual and emotional insight, she revisits the loss of life of her precious mom, the strong bond with her now-dying past college professor, the exhilaration of her first love, and the friendships forged out of the distributed sense of isolation and grief. Yoon's formative activities, which highlight both fragility and force of personal connection in an age of absolute uncertainty, become immediately palpable. Shin makes the foreign and esoteric utterly familiar: Her use of Western literature as an interpreter of feeling and experience bridges any gaps between East and Western. Love, companionship, and solitude will be the same all over the place, as this reserve makes poignantly clear.
