This is a series of short stories first introduced by author Kim Dongsik, who made a huge impact on the Korean literary scene with his debut work, "Gray Human." It contains the chaotic episodes unfolding in a TV variety show based on the concept of a "Fallacy Battle." In the novel's TV program "Fallacy Speaking Contest," various participants appear each episode to spout their own fallacies. Although the fallacies are absurd?such as "We should prepare for the afterlife instead of old age," "Past lives exist in the future," and "There is a secret organization plotting humanity's destruction"?philosophical and profound themes emerge within, shaking our common sense. It raises questions on various issues such as humanity, art, death, and the environment, showcasing extreme imagination.
