Publisher's summary
곽재식은 누구보다도 재미난 이야기 소재들을 사랑하는 작가입니다. 비단 SF뿐만 아니라 동서양의 판타지와 전설 등, 현실 밖의 꿈과 상상과 환상 속에 담긴 이야기들을 찾고 수집하죠. 다루는 소재를 고려하면, 곽재식은 확실히 '장르 소설가'에 속합니다. 전형적이라고 할 수도 있겠죠. 하지만 이 작가는 특별합니다. 현재 장르 소설계에서 이렇게 웃긴 작가는 존재하지 않습니다. 특히 이공계를 졸업하고 사회에 진출한 사람들이 겪는 부조리한 사회생활에 관한 블랙 코미디는 타의 추종을 불허합니다. 그 기반은 '리얼리티'죠. 대사 하나하나가 진짜 리얼합니다. 코믹 SF의 예로 코니 윌리스를 들어보면, 코니 윌리스는 극의 희극성을 끌어올리기 위해 일부러 비현실적인 캐릭터를 등장시킵니다. 단점은 아니고 전략적인 방향 설정이죠. 대체로 현실은 그만큼 재미가 있지는 않으니까요. 그런데 곽재식이 쓰는 설정이나 대사는 너무 리얼합니다. 말도 안 되는 소리들을 하고 있는데, 그게 너무 리얼합니다. 사회에서 갑을관계를 겪어 봤거나, 특히 공무원들과 대화를 해 본 분들이라면 이 소설에 나오는 처음 보는 캐릭터들의 대사를 읽을 때 육성이 들려올 겁니다. 그 어처구니없는 면이, 그래서, 웃깁니다. 어처구니가 없으니까요. 와, 이거 진짜잖아.
'다람쥐전자 SF팀의 대리와 팀장'
국내 유수 전자제품 회사에는 'SF팀'이 있다는 걸 알고 계십니까? 그냥 아무 SF나 읽다가 괜찮은 발상이 있으면 상부에 보고서를 쓰기만 하면 되는 꿀보직이죠. 그런데 세상에 아무 이유 없는 혜택이란 없는 법입니다….
작가의 말:
첩보 소설 같은 것을 보다 보면 어떤 나라에 대한 정보를 수집하기 위해 24시간 그 나라 텔레비전 보는 것이 직업인 정부 요원이 나온다. 어느 나라 대사관에서 잠깐 일한 분으로부터 이야기를 들어 보니 실제로도 그 비슷한 직업이 있기는 있는 것 같다. 나는 예전에 그런 직업을 갖고 일하면서도 공무원 호봉을 그대로 받고 연금도 쌓인다면 참 부럽다는 생각을 한 적이 있었다. 그 생각을 SF물로 옮겨 본 것이 이 단편이다. 빠르게 써 나가느라 생각나는 대로 SF 작가들의 이름을 언급했는데, 그러다 보니 평소 훌륭한 글을 쓰시는 분이라고 생각했던 김이환 작가님을 비롯한 몇몇 분들의 이름을 빠뜨린 점은 무척 아쉽다. '웹진 거울' 2019년 1월호를 통해 공개되었다.

Story
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Story
Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Story
Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.
