The visuals and storylines are mirrored and bolstered by Cho Young-wuk's exquisite soundtrack, brimming with bitter-sweet melodies.

The book explores a liberated woman’s erotic experience in a clandestine affair without the clichéd political and cultural stereotypes of modern gender roles. It has garnered accolades from none other than Bret Easton Ellis, Greil Marcus, Matthew D’Ancona, Michael Bracewell and Helen Rumbelow of The Times. A Year on Earth With Mr. Hell is a completely truthful and explicit account about the first ten months of a romantic affair Kim conducted with legendary punk rocker and writer, Richard Hell, starting in the winter of 2016. It is unique in that while it is a diary, in its cinematic sweep, it reads like a novel. Because it was written as the unpredictable affair unfolded, there was always great uncertainty to the realization of this “daybook-cum-docudrama.” Known for his own erotic writing, Hell instigated the book inadvertently by asking Kim to write something sexually provocative about their first night together. What resulted was an erotic relationship fueled not only by carnal chemistry but also literary synergy. Unusually, in this instance, Hell, a man, a generation older than Kim, acted as her muse; equally unusual is for a woman to write so explicitly and honestly about sex. Set in a Warholian swirl in the worlds of art, music, and fashion, spanning continents, the narrative is as much about Kim’s processing her grief for Malcolm McLaren (most famous for his role as the conceptualizer, art director, and manager of the Sex Pistols, as well as designing the punk style with his then-partner Vivienne Westwood), her romantic and business partner for the last 12 years of his life until his untimely death in 2010.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omnibus","offers":[{"title":"Paperback | Signed Copy","offer_id":50482412749131,"sku":"2003756","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/41zwxMFpXRL._SX302_BO1204203200__defafe5d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727551849"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_0a53ad13_thumbnail_4096_861912fc-bc5b-46c8-a2f1-79e816eb9545.jpg?v=1727299302","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/cho-young-wuk.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
