Kim Soom (1974~) is a South Korean novelist. She made her literary debut in 1997 when her short story “Neurime daehayeo” (느림에 대하여 On Slowness) won the Daejeon Ilbo New Writer’s Contest. Eight years later, she started writing in earnest under the pen name of Kim Soom. Her first short story collection Tugyeon (투견 Fighting Dog) was published in 2005. Since then, Kim has published at least one book every year—except in 2012—thereby establishing herself as one of the most prolific Korean writers in the 2010s. She is highly regarded for her incredible productivity, diverse materials, dense sentences, and attempts at using new forms.

1974年、韓国・蔚山生まれ。1997年に「大田日報」の新春文芸（文学新人賞）、1998年に「文学トンネ新人賞」を受賞しデビューした。短編小説集に『闘犬』『ベッド』『肝臓と胆嚢』、長編小説に『白痴たち』『私の美しい罪人たち』『編み物をする女』（すべて原題）などがある。女性、老人、養子など社会的弱者や社会から疎外された人々の物語を深く掘り下げ、人間社会の影と分裂の兆しを特有の繊細な視線で炙り出して独自の作品世界を築いてきた。2013年に「現代文学賞」「大山文学賞」、2015年に「李箱文学賞」など主要文学賞を相次いで受賞し、文壇と読者の双方から支持を得ている。
