Kim Nam-cheon was a prominent colonial Korea's author and critic. “After Beating Your Wife…” is the realization of a critical theory Kim Nam-cheon had espoused called “literature of denunciation.” In this story, the male protagonist, Nam-su, has been imprisoned for his political activities, and has difficulties returning to his life after his conversion and release. The argument that unfolds between Nam-su and his wife Jeong-sook follows a stream of consciousness style that expresses the husband and wife’s emotions and self-reflection in their own words.
