This is an excerpt from From Sisun by Chung Serang in the Special Section of KLN Vol. 55. It is a story of three generations of women, who did not succumb to the violence and oppression of the times. The narrative of the work, in which a family living in Korea and the United States leaves for Hawaii for an ancestral ritual, penetrates the tragedy of modern history, violence against women, and the absurdity of the world with the author Chung Serang’s unique imagination.

KLN 55호 문학특집 정세랑 작가의『시선으로부터,』의 일부발췌다. 시대의 폭력과 억압에 굴하지 않았던 주인공의 모계로 이어지는 여성 중심 삼대의 이야기이다. 한국과 미국에 나뉘어 살고 있는 가족이 단 한 번의 제사를 위해 하와이로 떠나며 벌어지는 작품의 서사는 현대사의 비극과 여성에게 가해지는 폭력, 세계의 부조리를 정세랑 작가 특유의 상상력으로 관통한다.
