작가이름

Jo Kyung Ran조경란

Jo Kyung Ran (born 1969) is a South Korean writer. Jo`s work is famous for taking trivial, mundane, and everyday occurrences and delicately describing them in subtle emotional tones. Jo tends to dwell on the impressions things make, and with precision and sensitivity, describes their effect on the inner world of the protagonist. Often, she describes her characters minimally or presents them like objects lacking personality, thereby accentuating human alienation and difficulty of communication in the modern world.
