"What does love look like at the end of the world? This is the question at the core of Juhea Kim's latest book, A Love Story From The End Of The World - a collection of ten short stories, published by HarperCollins, that traverse continents and futures to ask how humanity will endure when the planet we depend on is threadbare,"
"Biodomes, extreme weather, contamination, waning biodiversity; lovers who meet only briefly before climate upheaval separates them; a woman seeking adventure in France; interspecies care in a world that deems animal extinction and industrial farming normal. Even at their most surreal, the stories draw from Kim's own life - an art historian's eye, a vegan's moral compass, an advocate's urgency. In this collection, love becomes a framework for understanding what is worth saving:"
Ten short stories traverse continents and imagined futures to examine how love persists when ecosystems fray and the planet becomes threadbare. Settings include biodomes, extreme weather, contamination, and waning biodiversity, and narratives feature separated lovers, interspecies care, and individual quests for adventure. The stories blur fiction and non-fiction techniques and resist rigid genre labels while drawing on artful observation, ethical concern for animals, and urgent environmental advocacy. Love operates as the organizing principle to determine what deserves saving: the natural world, human connection, and the fragile yet resilient bonds that sustain empathy and tenderness.
