Il y a plusieurs baleines plus ou moins métaphoriques dans ce roman loufoque et sans limites : un mammifère marin aux allures de mauvais augure, un éléphant malin aux conseils poétiques et avisés, un cinéma architecturalement révolutionnaire, mais aussi la solitaire Ch'unhûi, enfant-monstre muette, recluse dans une obésité autistique. Pas de répit pour celle qui deviendra, à titre posthume, "la reine des briques", prise comme au piège dans sa vaine et immobile quête d'affection maternelle. Car Kùmbok, la mère, a d'autres chats à fouetter, extraordinaire et inépuisable bout de femme harcelée mais jamais démontée par les coups répétés d'un destin impitoyable. Hymne ironique à la libre entreprise, célébration malicieusement féministe de la femme triomphante, relecture irrévérencieuse et politiquement incorrecte des contes et légendes traditionnels, La Baleine déploie sa fantaisie burlesque entre farce nietzschéenne et fable fantastique, entre réalisme magique et néo-réalisme documentaire. Chef de file d'une génération affranchie des vieux carcans, Ch'ôn Myônggwan, quarante ans et des poussières, héritier métis de Garcia Màrquez et de Faulkner, fait souffler un vent de folie et de liberté sur la littérature coréenne.   Source: http://www.amazon.fr/La-Baleine-Chôn-Myônggwan/dp/274278070X

《我的叔叔“李小龙”》讲述了关于不能成功的爱情，关于破碎的梦想，关于挫折的欲望；关于破裂的关系，从某种意义上说，一切小说都可以算是关于失败的故事。尽管这样，为什么还有人要读不可救药的失败的故事呢？我想人们之所以读小说，是因为在阅读的过程当中，会感觉不幸的人并非只有自己。同时也会明白，在不幸和失败中依然梦想得到救赎，不屈不挠地活下去的人也不止自己。   Source: http://product.dangdang.com/1177894529.html

Spanning almost half a century of contemporary writing in Korea (from the 1970s to the present), The Future of Silence brings together some of the most accomplished twentieth-century women writers with a new generation of young, bold voices. Their work takes us into the homes, families, lives, and psyches of Korean women, men, and children. Pak Wan-sŏ, at the time of her passing the elder stateswoman of contemporary Korean fiction, opens the door into two “Identical Apartments” where neighbors, bound as much by competition as friendship, struggle to “keep up with the Kims” as they transition from life in an extended family to a new nuclear-family lifestyle in a sterile apartment complex. O Chŏng-hŭi, who has been compared to Joyce Carol Oates and Alice Munro, examines a day in the life of a woman recently released from a mental institution, while younger writers, such as Kim Sagwa, Han Yujoo, and Ch’ŏn Un-yŏng explore psychosis, literary experimentation, and bi-racial childhood. These stories will sometimes disturb and sometimes delight, as they illuminate complex issues in Korean life and literature. Internationally acclaimed translators Bruce and Ju-Chan Fulton have won several awards and fellowships for the numerous works of modern Korean fiction they have translated into English.   Source: http://www.zephyrpress.org/new.php#futuresilence
