공포, 피로, 당황, 놀람, 혼란, 좌절의 연속에 대한 한국 여자의 인생 현장 보고서! Korean woman's life scene report on a series of horror, fatigue, embarrassment, surprise, confusion, frustration! 문학성과 다양성, 참신성을 기치로 한국문학의 미래를 이끌어 갈 신예들의 작품을 엄선한 「오늘의 젊은 작가」의 열세 번째 작품 『82년생 김지영』. 서민들의 일상 속 비극을 사실적이면서 공감대 높은 스토리로 표현하는 데 재능을 보이는 작가 조남주는 이번 작품에서 1982년생 '김지영 씨'의 기억을 바탕으로 한 고백을 한 축으로, 고백을 뒷받침하는 각종 통계자료와 기사들을 또 다른 축으로 삼아 30대를 살고 있는 한국 여성들의 보편적인 일상을 완벽하게 재현한다. This is the thirteenth piece of "Young Artist of Today", "82 years old Kim Ji-young" who selected the works of new writers who will lead the future of Korean literature based on literature, diversity and genius. Jo Nam-ju, who shows talent in expressing the tragedy of everyday life of ordinary people as a realistic and consensus-high story, will make a confession based on the memory of Kim Ji-young, who was born in 1982, Using articles as another axis, it perfectly reproduces the universal life of Korean women in their thirties. 슬하에 딸을 두고 있는 서른네 살 김지영 씨가 어느 날 갑자기 이상 증세를 보인다. 시댁 식구들이 모여 있는 자리에서 친정 엄마로 빙의해 속말을 뱉어 내고, 남편의 결혼 전 애인으로 빙의해 그를 식겁하게 만들기도 한다. 이를 이상하게 여긴 남편이 김지영 씨의 정신 상담을 주선하고, 지영 씨는 정기적으로 의사를 찾아가 자신의 삶을 이야기한다. 소설은 김지영 씨의 이야기를 들은 담당 의사가 그녀의 인생을 재구성해 기록한 리포트 형식이다. 리포트에 기록된 김지영 씨의 기억은 '여성'이라는 젠더적 기준으로 선별된 에피소드로 구성된다.
