The stories of David Constantine are unlike any others. His characters possess you instantly, making you see the world as they do, sometimes as exiles, driven into isolation by convictions that even they don't fully understand; sometimes as carriers of an unspoken but unbearable weight.

소설집의 처음을 여는 「그들을 정원에 남겨두었다」에서 의사인 '나'는 소설가이기도 하다. 이시진은 내가 담당하고 있는 식물인간 상태의 환자인데, 그는 과거에 커밍아웃하면서 부인과 딸을 떠났었다. 10여 년을 함께한 그의 동성 연인은 병원에 찾아왔지만 어떤 관계도 인정받지 못한 채, 이시진의 가족들에게 쫓겨나야 했다. 한편 나의 대학 동기인 수연은 그 상황을 텍스트로 풀어내며 생활동반자법 제정이라는 공론을 이끌어내려 하지만, 그 과정에서 사실을 과장하고 각색한다. 나는 수연에게 전화를 걸어 그 글은 픽션이 아니라고, 쓰기 전에는 최소한 동의는 구했어야 했다고 비판하지만, 되레 수연이 되받아친다.
