The stories in this collection are written by twelve Korean women writers whose experience, insight, and writing skill make them truly representative of Korean fiction at its best. "The Rooster" is a comical revelation of an old man who accepts the truth that Man and Nature revolve around the same immutable natural law. In "The Fragment," refugees who flee to Pusan during the Korean War suffer the unspeakable squalor and despair when jammed in a warehouse. "The Young Elm Tree" tells the story of a high school girl who falls in love with the son of her mother's new husband. What all these twelve writers share in common is a keen eye that penetrates into the lives of Korean women from the early part of the 20th century to the present. THE AUTHORS Authors included fall into two groups-those born during the Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945) and those born after 1945. All the eight authors in the first group experienced the Second World War in childhood and the Korean War as adults. They saw pain, hardship, and death, but they observed courage, resilience, humor, and love even in the most dire times. The four younger writers are active creators of works that have won top literary awards. Their fresh new look at life, their bold experimental style, and their refreshing voices are a reflection of their generation. THE TRANSLATOR Dr. Jin-Young Choi is Professor of English at Chung-Ang University in Seoul. She has translated two novels, numerous short stories and tales. Her Saturday columns in The Korea Herald were collected into one volume form One Woman's Way. All of her translated short stories were published in Korean Literature Today. https://www.amazon.com/Unspoken-Voices-Selected-Stories-Writers/dp/1931907064

Les huit nouvellistes réunies dans ce recueil posent un regard parfois dur, souvent troublant, sur la société coréenne contemporaine. Histoires de couples, d’amour, de famille, s’enchaînent et décrivent une société en pleine mutation. Si l’héritage confucéen est présent, l’impérieux besoin de liberté des individus bouleverse les codes et les rôles préétablis. Qu’elles soient célibataires fringantes, femmes mariées esseulées, battues ou battantes, les héroïnes de Cocktail Sugar prennent vigoureusement une parole qui leur est souvent refusée. Aux prises avec un soudain besoin de révolte, elles s’étonnent de la place que la société leur réserve. Et leurs maris, amants et fils sont tout autant démunis face à un individualisme qui les interroge. Cocktail Sugar, la nouvelle qui donne son titre au recueil, est l’emblème de ce drôle de mal-être. Les personnages croient éprouver leur liberté dans une jolie valse de relations extraconjugales, pour se retrouver à leur tour trompés et emplis de détresse... Souvent critiques, ces nouvelles ne tombent jamais dans le cynisme : elles sont au contraire un fabuleux témoignage féminin sur une société en plein bouleversement, des dernières années de la dictature à nos jours.

Yeonghye es una mujer aparentemente normal, joven, sin mayores virtudes o defectos. Una noche, sin ninguna actitud previa que hiciera suponer un cambio en su carácter, su marido la encuentra en la cocina tirando a la basura toda la carne almacenada en el congelador. Cuando él la increpa por lo que está haciendo, ella le dice que ha tenido un sueño y que abandonará la ingesta de carnes. Su determinación es absolutamente radical e irrevocable, pero el marido y la familia no están preparados para esta decisión ni para la transformación que comienza a gestarse en Yeonghye a partir de ese momento. La vegetariana, es una novela con un fuerte componente psicológico, que cuestiona los límites culturales de la cordura, la violencia y el valor del cuerpo como un bien privado y último refugio.

Publicado originalmente em 2007, A Vegetariana é um “romance-novelas” (desenvolvido em três novelas juntas no mesmo volume) publicado na Argentina, China, Coreia do Sul, Japão e Vietnã. Han Kang é expoente da nova geração de escritores coreanos, autora várias vezes premiada em seu país, e livre da marca das “grandes questões nacionais”, que pesavam sobre os ombros dos seus predecessores literários, submersos em profundas sombras do passado, buscando agora detalhes minuciosos das vidas dos indivíduos e do seu contexto. A literatura de Han Kang se ampara no realismo, mas é dotada de uma imaginação sem limites. A Vegetariana é um romance composto de três partes que se complementam e formam um todo, mas podem ser lidas independentemente. O livro conta a história de uma mulher coreana que decide não comer mais carne e enfrenta toda a repercussão social que uma decisão deste tipo provoca naquele país. A primeira parte é contada do ponto de vista do marido, um funcionário de médio escalão que está começando a galgar os degraus da hierarquia da empresa onde trabalha. É através dos olhos dele que percebemos o estranhamento que as atitudes de sua esposa provocam. A segunda parte, cuja narrativa tem um leve toque sensual, é contada a partir da perspectiva do cunhado (marido da irmã) da vegetariana, um artista na área de cinema e vídeo que decide fotografar e filmar a cunhada e acaba desenvolvendo uma queda por ela. A terceira parte é contada do ponto de vista da irmã que se vê dividida entre o dever fraternal que ela sente de proteger a irmã mais nova e o quanto ela compreende as atitudes da irmã e o que a levou a tomá-las.
