Description 작품 소개

English

The novel Kangtang deals with "sin and guilt," from which one always wants to free oneself. Kangtang is the name of a small harbor town on the Atlantic coast referred to as the end of the world.

The protagonist Han Jungsu travels there on the orders of his psychiatrist. In Kangtang, Han encounters the innkeeper of a guesthouse called Pequod and the missionary Tanael. All three have different reasons for coming, but they share guilt from the past.

Author Bio 작가 소개

Lee Seung-U이승우

Lee Seung-U, a former student of theology, made his literary debut in 1981 with the novella A Portrait of Erysichthon. Throughout his career, Lee has maintained an interest in theological and metaphysical issues, which is reflected in his writing style that meticulously depicts the inner workings of the human soul. His works deal with questions about morals arising in quotidian life as well as more universal issues concerning God, salvation, and guilt. In particular, Lee’s novels since 2000 have inquired into the meaning of reality and the everyday, thereby bringing together the sacred and the secular, and the mind and the body. Published translations of his books include The Reverse Side of Life (Peter Owen, 2005), La vie rêvée des plantes (Gallimard, 2009), Ici comme ailleurs (Gallimard, 2013), and The Private Life of Plants (Dalkey Archive, 2015).
