Kim Sok Bom
김석범
Kim Sok Bom was born in 1925 in the Ikaino district of Osaka. As a writer who has spent most of his life in Japan and writes in Japanese, Kim's work is considered abstruse even compared to other Japanese writers. Kim, who began publishing in Japanese in the early 1970s, made the decision to use Japanese to write about Korea and his struggle with his Zainichi identity. Thus, while written in Japanese, Kim's work is a far cry from the Japanese canon in both subject matter and style. Kim, too, refuses for his work to be considered as Japanese literature.
