Winner of the Big Other Award in Translation
Winner of MLA's 17th Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for a Translation of a Literary Work
Formally audacious and remarkably compelling, Yi Sang’s works were uniquely situated amid the literary experiments of world literature in the early twentieth century and the political upheaval of 1930s Japanese occupied Korea. Presenting the work of the influential Korean modernist master, award- winning poets and translators Don Mee Choi, Jack Jung, Sawako Nakayasu, and Joyelle McSweeney have carefully assembled poems, essays, and stories that ricochet off convention in a visionary and daring response to personal and national trauma, reminding us that to write from the avant garde is a form of civil disobedience.
