Cheon Myeong-kwan
천명관
Cheon`s first published work, “Frank and I,” is an absurd and hilarious story about the narrator’s unemployed husband who goes to Canada to meet his cousin Frank, and ends up meeting another Frank who happens to be a Los Angeles gang leader. His first novel, Whale, spins a wry, epic tale about a country girl who transforms herself into an entrepreneur in the city. His sophomore novel, Modern Family, featuring a motley crew of family members, is narrated by a middle-aged son who has been unemployed for the past 10 years ever since his debut film flopped.
