The Face of the Twenty-first Century: Novelist Park Min-gyu By Kim Dongshik on Oct 19 2014 02:40:53 Vol.12 Summer 2011 A writer who likens writing to a boxing match, Park Min-gyu leaves behind his slacker past for his improved writing self. Park Min-gyu debuted in 2003 and was the recipient of The Hankyoreh Literature Award and the Munhakdongne New Writer Award. His powerful imagination, understanding of the minority, and original narratives led him to become an iconic figure in 21st century Korean literature. He was recently chosen as the face of Korean literature in the 21st century in a poll of literary critics, and hailed as “spokesman for the trends of the 21st century,” and “challenging the lethargy of the young generation while seeking a new form for the novel.”
