{"product_id":"9781770462601","title":"Uncomfortably Happily by Yeon-Sik Hong","description":"Inspired by Yeon-sik Hong s attempt to  Uncomfortably, Happily  is  the  story  of  a young couple finding their way. Burdened by unmet comics deadlines and high rent, our narrator and his wife know they must make a change.  Convinced  the  absence  of  traffic noise  will  ease  his  writer s  block,  our  pair welcomes  the  idea  of  building  a  life  from scratch.  Deciding  on  a  home  atop  an  uninhabited  mountain,  they  excitedly  embrace the charms of their new rural existence. From tending to the land and attempting grocery  runs  through  snow,  to  the  complexities of fighting depression in seclusion, the move does not immediately prove to be the golden ticket they d hoped for, and the silence  of  the  mountain  poses  as  much  of an  obstacle  to  output  as  the  sirens  of  the city.  Through it  all,  though,  we  see  simple pleasures seep in and gain prominence over these commercial, and, often, comparatively trivial worries: the smell of the forest, the calming weight of enveloping snow, and the gratification of a stripped down life making art begin to muffle other concerns.   Originally  published  in  Korean  to  great acclaim  and  winning  the  Manhwa  Today award,  Uncomfortably, Happily  uniquely explores  our  narrator s  inner  world.  Hong propels the comic with gorgeously detailed yet simple art, sharing the story of two lives unfolding slowly,  sometimes  uncomfortably, yet ultimately, happily.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56304011936117,"sku":"9781770462601","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781770462601.jpg?v=1762795346","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781770462601","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
