Except this cabinet is filled with files on the `symptomers`, people whose weird abilities and bizarre experiences might just mark the emergence of a new species.But to Mr Kong, the harried office worker who spends his days looking after the cabinet, the symptomers are just a headache; from the woman whose doppelganger broke up with her boyfriend, to the man with a ginkgo tree growing from his fingertip. And then there`s that guy who won`t stop calling, asking to be turned into a cat...A richly funny and fantastical novel about the strangeness at the heart of even the most ordinary lives, from one of South Korea`s most acclaimed novelists.Translated by Sean Lin Halbert
