The novel "The Dallergut Dream Department Store" by Lee Mi-ye follows Penny, the new employee at the Department Store, on her journey through the magical world of dreams. The book doesn't follow an overarching plot but rather explores the different departments and experiences Penny has during her work day. It is whimsical, creative and wise. The explanations of the role dreams play really resonated with me and gave me food for thought. I also loved the translation from Korean to English. I sometimes find translated works irritating but this was wonderfully done! There even was a note from the translator after the epilogue that was so heartwarming. I listened to it as an audiobook and the performance by Shannon Tyo was excellent!
