Pathetic, but still a life
A Fun Game depicts loss and alienation in the helpless lives of various characters, from teenagers to middle-aged woman. Affairs and divorce, a man with cancer and a woman deserted by a man, characters in A Fun Game wander alone in a bleak society, understood by no one.
In A Fun Game, Park repeatedly delves into the solitude of modern people and the fragments of their helpless lives. Most of the stories happen within a familial setting. Readers will be led to observe the life of a modern woman and new familial relationships in the lives of characters who transgress traditional family boundaries.
