Editor's Note:
“동네 세탁소에, 최근 어린 알바생이 한 명 들어왔다.”얼룩, 세탁, 표백, 건조가 반복되는 삶의 비밀을 배워나가는 은결의 이야기몇 년 전 아내와 사별한 명정은 조금은 낡고 조금은 가난한 동네에서 홀로 세탁소를 꾸려가고 있다. 외국에 살던 외아들마저 불의의 사고로 세상을 떠나고, 어느 날 발신자가 아들인 택배 상자가 명정에게 도착한다. 조심스레 상자를 열어본 명정의 눈앞에 나타난 것은 17세 소년의 모습을 한 ‘로봇’이다.명정은 아들이 마지막으로 남겨준 선물인 듯한 로봇에게 언젠가 둘째 아이가 생기면 부르고 싶었던 이름 ‘은결’을 붙여주고 함께 생활한다.“리모컨이나 중앙컴퓨터로 원격 제어하는 로봇이 아니라, 기초 설정이 완료된 직후부터 외부의 모든 자극을 데이터베이스화하며 때로는 스스로 판단하고 그 계산과 선택의 결과를 새로이 자동 프로그래밍하여 움직이는 인간형 로봇”이자 “가사노동과 간단한 업무 외에 창의적으로 쓸 만한 구석”이 없는 “불완전 샘플”인 은결은, 명정의 곁에서 세탁소 일을 돕는 한편 이웃 아이들 시호, 준교, 세주 등의 일상에 자연스럽게 스며든다.은결이 도착하고 9년의 시간이 흘러 아이들은 어느덧 성인이 되어 각자의 삶을 꾸려나가고 명정은 자신의 생을 서서히 정리할 필요를 느낀다. 그리고 은결은 변하지 않고 늘 한결같아 보이지만 수많은 정보 처리를 통해 감정과 공감, 의지를 조금씩 배워나간다.“괜찮아. 형태가 있는 건 더러워지게 마련이니까.”“그래도 사람들은 지우고 또 지웁니다.”물속에 떨어져 녹아내리던 푸른 세제 한 스푼이 가르쳐준 삶의 모든 것은결은 만들어진 대로 충실하게 자극과 정보를 받아들이고 학습한 내용을 고도의 연산 작용을 통해 메모리에 저장하고 데이터에 따라 반응한다. 하지만 복잡하고 정교한 계산으로도 답을 얻기 어려운 변수들이 불쑥불쑥 등장하는 것이 인간의 삶이다.《한 스푼의 시간》은 은결의 고요한 시선으로 사려 깊은 주인 명정뿐만 아니라 변수 가득한 삶을 살아가는 동네 아이들―시호, 준교, 세주―의 시간을 함께 보여준다. 넉넉하지 않은 집안 형편이지만 생기와 자존심을 잃지 않으려 애쓰는 시호, 성실하고 단단한 성품으로 주위 사람들을 살피는 준교, 초기 설정과 매뉴얼 입력으로 처음 은결을 깨워주었던 세주 들은 어쩔 수 없는 가난과 고단한 생활을 견뎌내는 과정에서 무너지고 아파하기도 한다. 하지만 “사람은 누구나 인생의 어느 순간에 이르면 제거도 수정도 불가능한 한 점의 얼룩을 살아내야만 한다”는 것을, “부주의하게 놓아둔 바람에 팽창과 수축을 거쳐 변형된 가죽처럼, 복원 불가능한 자신의 모습을 받아들여야” 한다는 것을 어느 순간 받아들이고 “삶을 응시하는 기본적인 태도와 자존심과 신념”을 지키려고 노력한다.어느 날 명정은 은결에게 137억 년이 넘는 우주의 나이, 지구의 45억 년 나이에 비하면 사람의 인생은 “고작 푸른 세제 한 스푼이 물에 녹는 시간에 불과”하다고 일러준다. 그리하여 이 세상에 어떻게 스며들 것인지를 결정하고 나면 이미 녹아 없어질 짧은 시간. 처음에는 객관적으로 입력되는 정보로만 파악하고 분석하던 은결은 어느덧 인공두뇌의 가열한 연산으로는 계산해내고 실행할 수 없을 행동과 반응을 보이기 시작한다. 그것이 설사 불완전 샘플이기에 나타나는 전산상 오류일망정 한 점 얼룩을 마음속에 품은 아이들과 명정에게는 어느새 더할 나위 없이 큰 위로를 건네는 존재가 된다. “시호는 그래봤자 전원을 차단하고 나면 아무것도 아닌 한 대의 로봇이 건네는 말이 터널 끝의 불빛처럼 빛난다고 여긴다.”(170쪽) 로봇 은결의 위로는 ‘한 스푼의 시간’ 동안 “힘껏 분노하거나 사랑하는 한편 절망 속에서도 열망을 잊지 않으며 끝없이 무언가를 간구하고 기원”하는 우리에게도 뭉클하면서도 따뜻하게 전해진다.한 자 한 자 혼신을 다한 문장들이 한 땀 한 땀 정성으로 피어나다이번 리커버 작업은 이은정 자수 화가의 작품을 활용하여 박연미 디자이너가 새롭게 표현해냈다. 한 땀 한 땀 정성으로 피어난 아름다움은, 한 문장 한 문장 혼신을 다해 밀고 나가는 구병모 작가의 작품 세계와 닮아 있다. 이은정 자수 화가는 인생의 가장 소중한 ‘찰나의 순간’들을 모아 하나의 세계를 만들어낸다. 살아가면서 제일 반짝였던 순간들, 기억, 시간, 감정의 조각들을 통해 꿈속 공간, 꿈꾸는 공간을 그려내는 자수 작품들은 신비롭고 환상적인 구병모 월드를 그대로 재현해낸 듯하다. 표지에는 소설 속 주인공들의 가장 행복한 순간, 그 빛나고 아름다운 찰나를 담고자 했으며, 《한 스푼의 시간》에서 좋아하는 사람의 옷 주머니에 씨앗을 한 줌 넣는 장면을 표현했다. 씨앗들이 뿌려지고 꽃을 피우는 모습, 푸른 세제 한 스푼이 물에 녹아 사라질지라도 씨앗은 꽃을 피우고 곳곳에서 작은 구슬들처럼 반짝인다. 이 책이 씨앗이 되어 독자들의 가슴에 꽃을 피우기를 바라는 마음을 담았다.
