The themes of division, estrangement, and the search for connection permeates quite a lot of Yi’s work, as you can imagine. Yi had to endure the stigma of his father’s defection to the North for most of his life. It had a profound effect on his childhood, his sense of identity, and even on his later academic career. The spectre of the Korean War has never gone away in South Korea.
