Description 작품 소개

In the Basil Garden is the second collection of novels published in 17 years by the novelist Han Soo-yeong. What this means is that this book is a collection of short stories published over a long period of time, all with a recurring theme: tightly-knit composition that reminds one of mathematical precision, and the tension and density of language. After reading a novel, a key image that concentrates on and spreads the theme will emerge in readers’ minds clearly. In other words, her works are unwaveringly faithful to the classic norm and aesthetics of what makes a great short story. The darkness of poverty, deprivation, isolation, and exclusion is clutching at the ankles of the characters, and the light that will sustain and open the doors of their lives is dimly clouded in the hard observation of reality.
