불안과 의심으로 가득한 세계 그 안을 파고드는 편혜영의 시선 편혜영의 네번째 장편소설 『홀The Hole』이 출간됐다. ‘그로테스크한 디스토피아’를 그린 첫 소설집 『아오이가든』(2005)을 출간한 이후 작가는 새 작품마다 변화의 지점을 만들어가며 초창기 작품 세계를 넘어서는 밀도 높은 서사와 문장의 긴밀성을 장점으로 한 작품들을 써왔다. “치밀하게 계산된 모호함”으로 “삶의 폭력성을 날카롭게 포착하는 능력”(소설가 오정희)을 갱신하며 소설을 튼튼하게 다져온 편혜영은 이효석문학상(2009), 동인문학상(2012), 이상문학상(2014), 현대문학상(2015) 외 다수의 상을 받았다. 이 책의 이야기는 『작가세계』(2014년 봄호)를 통해 발표한 단편 「식물 애호」에서 시작되었다. 느닷없는 교통사고와 아내의 죽음으로 완전히 달라진 오기의 삶을 큰 줄기로 삼으면서, 장면 사이사이에 내면 심리의 층을 정밀하게 쌓아 올렸다.

Winner of the Akutagawa Prize, The Hole is by turns reminiscent of Lewis Carroll, David Lynch, and My Neighbor Totoro, but is singularly unsettling Asa’s husband is transferring jobs, and his new office is located near his family’s home in the countryside. During an exceptionally hot summer, the young married couple move in, and Asa does her best to quickly adjust to their new rural lives, to their remoteness, to the constant presence of her in-laws and the incessant buzz of cicadas. While her husband is consumed with his job, Asa is left to explore her surroundings on her own: she makes trips to the supermarket, halfheartedly looks for work, and tries to find interesting ways of killing time. One day, while running an errand for her mother-in-law, she comes across a strange creature, follows it to the embankment of a river, and ends up falling into a hole―a hole that seems to have been made specifically for her. This is the first in a series of bizarre experiences that drive Asa deeper into the mysteries of this rural landscape filled with eccentric characters and unidentifiable creatures, leading her to question her role in this world, and eventually, her sanity.

이미 뚫려 있던 구멍의 실체와 마주하다! 편혜영의 네 번째 장편소설 『홀(The Hole)』. 2014년 작가세계 봄호를 통해 발표한 단편 《식물 애호》에서 시작된 작품이다. 느닷없는 교통사고와 아내의 죽음으로 완전히 달라진 사십대 대학 교수 '오기'의 삶을 큰 줄기로 삼으면서 장면 사이사이에 내면 심리의 층을 정밀하게 그려내고, 모호한 관계의 갈등을 치밀하게 엮어 팽팽한 긴장감을 조성한다. 이야기는 뉴스에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 교통사고로 시작한다. 그것도 아주 심각한 교통사고. 이 사고로 오기는 아내를 잃고, 스스로는 눈을 깜박이는 것 외에 아무것도 할 수 없는 불구가 되어버린다. 의사의 말대로 ‘의지’가 있어야만 겨우 살 수 있는 상태에 처한 셈이다. 사고 직후 일시적인 충격으로 오기의 기억에는 드문드문 구멍이 생긴다. 그리고 완전히 무너지고 사라져서 아무것도 아닌 게 되어버렸다는 오기의 독백처럼 예상치 못한 사건은 오기의 일상을 한순간 뒤흔드는데……. 오기의 신체와 삶이 완전히 무너져버린 데에 교통사고가 결정적이고도 직접적인 역할을 하지만, 저자는 사고가 일어나기 전 오기의 삶을 한 꺼풀씩 벗겨내며 이미 뚫려 있던 삶의 구멍의 실체를 보여준다. 사고 전후의 모습을 계속해서 교차하며 오기가 만들어온 그의 삶을 관찰하면서 한순간에 벌어진 사고가 아닌, 일상의 결정들이 제 스스로를 곤란에 빠뜨릴 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.
