书籍简介

就好像她的生活是从Moon出现之后才开始的。 当她看到这位偶像的演唱会时，杂乱无章的文案工作、男朋友以及对任何非Moon的渴望很快就消失了，Moon在音乐会上跳舞，仿佛他的动作正在创造自己的引力场； 在直播中，来自世界各地的粉丝用数十种语言发表评论； 甚至在广受欢迎的韩国男孩乐队代言的护肤品上也是如此，Moon 是该乐队中年轻、光芒四射的成员。 被难以言喻的欲望所抓住，我们的无名叙述者开始写Y/N同人小说——在其中，你，读者，插入[你的/名字]，并与这位遥不可及的明星建立亲密关系。

《Y/N》超现实、搞笑且尖锐，是一部极具挑衅性的文学处女作，讲述了人们对超越的普遍渴望，以及在全球化的失忆效应中维护自己独特故事的悲惨斗争。 Esther Yi的散文打破了高雅艺术与大众艺术之间的界限，打破了我们对一部关于“身份”的小说的期望，并在其位置上提供了一幅困扰现代生活的孤独的独特图景。

It’s as if her life only began once Moon appeared in it. The desultory copywriting work, the boyfriend, and the want of anything not-Moon quickly fall away when she beholds the idol in concert, where Moon dances as if his movements are creating their own gravitational field; on livestreams, as fans from around the world comment in dozens of languages; even on skincare products endorsed by the wildly popular Korean boyband, of which Moon is the young, luminous member. Seized by ineffable desire, our unnamed narrator begins writing Y/N fanfic—in which you, the reader, insert [Your/Name] and play out an intimate relationship with the unattainable star.

Surreal, hilarious, and shrewdly poignant, Y/N is a provocative literary debut about the universal longing for transcendence and the tragic struggle to assert one’s singular story amidst the amnesiac effects of globalization. Esther Yi’s prose unsettles the boundary between high and mass art, exploding our expectations of a novel about “identity” and offering in its place a sui generis picture of the loneliness that afflicts modern life.
