The MZ Generation Reads New Non-Fiction

Topic   The MZ Generation Reads New Non-Fiction   2021.09.06   When did the golden age of non-fiction begin?   There is a genre that boasts of being at the best place in the bookstores. It is non-fiction, in particular essays, a genre where people speak frankly about their personal stories."The golden era of non-fiction has arrived" has become too clich?. Essays were once treated as "useless writings" until the beginning of the 2000s, when novels or books about money and economics prevailed in the markets.

The book On a Moonlit Night, at Hansungbu is the story of Aran, a female gumhum sanpa.One day at dawn, a fire breaks out at Mokmyeoksan mountain. This fire uncovered a cave hidden deep in the mountain, and six horribly murdered bodies are found lying inside. Aran finds out that they were all killed for different causes. Meanwhile, one of them was wearing particularly expensive silk clothes, who was found out to be Heo Chung, the only son of the minister of defense. Ar...
