This is a novel by Pak Taewon, serialized in the Joseon jungang ilbo from August 1 to September 19. 1934. It is evaluated as one of the greatest achievements of Korean modernist novels in the 1930s, and the descriptions of people and spaces as the narrator walks across Gwanggyo Bridge, through Jongno Intersection, and along Gyeongseong Station remind the readers of modernalogy. In addition, the detailed description of the complex inner thoughts and feelings of the protagonist that are revealed as the narrative crosses the past, future, and the present, is a novel achievement that was rare in the 1930s.
A modernist writer who boldly embraced experimental techniques and meticulous craftsmanship, Pak Taewon was primarily concerned with the aestheticism and the mode of expression itself rather than the ideas expressed. His early fictional works, in particular, were a product of his attempt to engineer a new writing style: Piro (피로 Exhaustion) and Ttakhan saramdeul (딱한 사람들Forlorn People) contain symbols and diagrams from newspaper advertisements; Jeonmal (전말 Circumstances) and Biryang (비량 Sorrow), contain long phrases composed of over five sentences strung together with commas.
