A bittersweet elegy about empathy, grieving, and the extraordinary bond between humans and animals.
Du-hui, Su-hyeon's beloved pet tarantula, has passed away after seventeen years. With the hopes that Du-hui will return to nature, Su-hyeon buries Du-hui deep in the mountains, in a place she could never find again. Then Su-hyeon begins to uncover memories of Du-hui everywhere.
As Su-hyeon embarks on a process of remembrance, she recounts the years she shared with her pet. From her family’s mistrust of a being they couldn’t understand, to a bond with a distant lover who believed Du-hui could listen, to a rare animal dealer who refuses to believe her ability to connect with a tarantula, Su-hyeon begins to wonder: Did she ever really know Du-hui? Was it selfish to keep Du-hui captive and away from nature? And could she ever accept Du-hui’s death if she didn’t understand his life?
In ethical and philosophical reflections on loyalty, friendship, and the bonds that give meaning to our lives, A Spider is Saturday Dawn questions the need to center our approach to life through a human perspective. Praised for its groundbreaking treatment of animal companionship, Jeong’s debut emerges as an allegory for otherness, marginalization, and the life-changing effects of striving to connect with those who are different from us.
