Yun Gi-jeong (1903 – 1955) participated in the proletarian literature movement as a novelist, literary critic, arts activist, and organizer. Born in Seoul, Yun was educated at the Boin School. He made his literary debut in 1921 with the publication of his short story “Memories of a Christmas” in the daily newspaper Joseon Ilbo.
Yun’s works in the literary field can be organized into two broad categories of fiction and literary criticism. Many of his fictional works depict in a critical manner the pain and the exploitation of the working class. Yun’s literary works include, “New Life,” “The Walker,” “The Smokestack,” and “Nirvana.” As with his fictional works, Yun’s literary criticism engaged with politics in a relatively direct manner.
