‘Park Ji Ri Literature Award’ is a competition for new and fresh young writers to commemorate the writer, Park Ji Ri, who passed away in 2016, and to continue his literary world. Park had left seven literary works such as ‘Union’, ‘Manhole’, ‘The Origin of Evil by Darwin Young’, etc. The award winner of the 2nd Park Ji Ri Literature Award, ‘Joe in the Alley’, is finally published. This book is the first one written by the writer, Song Some, who was born in 1995. The judges were the novelists, Lee Gi Ho and Kim Seong Joong as well as the critic, Yoon Kyung Hee.
With the skills learned from the government program, I work for an architectural firm making a structure sketch. I do not stand out anywhere, and I am not welcomed much. However, I happen to live with two abandoned cats, Joe, who runs a small bar, and even the ghost appeared from the wall in my underground house. I am a 24-year-old man, whose mother left home and father killed himself, with broken heart. However, one day these innocent characters came to me and I ended up living full of courage after filling the emptiness inside myself by spending time, having a relationship with them and saying goodbye to them.
