-Book introduction

“This beautiful novel is a gift from God” The hottest piece at the 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair! Copyright exported to 3 overseas countries before publication

What if you could hear the last thoughts of someone who passed away? A psychological autopsy center where the saddest stories in the world gather. And a public phone was left alone nearby. A touching human fantasy that comforts both those who have left and those who are left behind unfolds there.

A Public Phone to Hear Your Last Heart is a work that attracted a lot of attention even before its official publication. Based solely on its artistic quality, it was selected as a blockbuster work at the 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair, and the copyright has already been exported to Poland, Romania, and Turkicje before publication.

In addition, it was published as an e-book in Millie's Library and received overwhelming praise from over 8,000 readers, ranking first in the best weekly novels and fourth overall. “A beautiful and strange story that sublimates loss into mourning.” “Real healing, not clumsy healing! “A novel that only someone who has been sick can write.” “I tried my best to ignore my feelings as a person left behind, but I was soon comforted by the stories in the book.” As readers who first read the work said, the greatest value of this book is that it delivers sincere consolation rather than forced consolation.

The suicide of a loved one leaves great hurt, resentment, and guilt in those left behind. Before mourning the loss of the deceased, the question ‘Why on earth?’ or ‘How is that possible?’ continues to linger in our minds. What is needed for these people is a psychological autopsy.

Psychological autopsy refers to the process of estimating the cause of suicide of a person who commits suicide, and is also a core motif of this novel. And the ‘public phone where you can hear your last thoughts’ is a device in the novel that makes this psychological autopsy complete. There really is no public phone like this in the world, but instead we have this novel. Through this novel, which is like a gift from God, something miraculous will begin in which resentment and guilt will turn into sadness, and hurt will turn into comfort.
