Author: Yun Ko-eun
A darkly comic and compelling satire of the art world from the author of 'The Disaster Tourist'. An Yiji’s career had been stalling for some time when a representative of the illustrious Robert Foundation offers her an all-expenses-paid artist residency in California. The residency has launched many famous artists’ careers. Still, she feels reluctant to accept, and with good reason: the Foundation’s patron Robert, is a small dog, known for his talent as a photographer, but also his arrogance. Moreover, the offer comes with a condition: on the last day of the residency, one of An’s paintings must be incinerated, and Robert gets to select which one. When An reaches California, she finds the state ablaze with wildfires, but at the foundation all is calm. She navigates awkward dinners with Robert, tries to find inspiration while being bombarded with sponsors who all want their business to be the subject of her art, and despairs at the prospect of her work being set on fire. Was coming to California a huge mistake?
