Bae Suah

배수아

“Because life has not turned out the way I wanted it to. Because that’s how it always is—as a child, you get no love from your parents, and at school, you get bad grades and never catch anyone’s eye. And after you’re all grown up, you keep peeking in the door of the gynecology clinic, and then wait for an hour, and another hour, at the café where a man has promised to meet you, gulping down several cups of weak coffee before leaving alone in the dark. Then, to top it off, the cat that crosses your path one day on a highway with green apples turns out to be a black cat.” (Pureun Sagwaga Inneun Gukdo [Highway with Green Apples], translated by Sora Kim-Russell, Goryeowon, 1995) Bae Suah is a novelist known for a distinctive style that presents speculative ideas and imagery in unconventional ways.
