Description 작품 소개
Published in 2010, this collection by Bae Suah introduces eight of her short stories including “First Snow, First Sight,” “Owl,” “North Station,” and “Weary Night.” With a characteristically unique sensibility and language, Bae has been recognized as one of the most important writers in contemporary Korean literature, and in this collection, she brings out layers of the inner workings of people. Her characters include a man who is reminded by things of the people from his past and present, and a nihilistic painter who exchanges letters about his dreams and writings. The stories weave reality and fantasy, blurring the boundary between the two.
Author Bio 작가 소개
Bae is known for her use of abrupt shifts in tense and perspective, sensitive yet straightforward expressions, and seemingly non sequitur sentences to unsettle and distance her readers. Bae’s works offer neither the reassurance of moral conventions upheld, nor the consolation of adversities rendered meaningful.
There are no expectations.
