The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On

The stories balance despair with resilience in a way that really resonated. How did the author manage to evoke both feelings so authentically?

Choi’s lyrical style adds layers of meaning, but I wonder if it also made some parts more elusive. Was that intentional?

It felt like a deliberate way to humanize larger issues. I'm curious whether the author aimed to show individual resilience or something else.
