Cheon Un-yeong et Kim Un-su : deux écrivains coréens à Paris

Soirée littéraire au Centre Culturel Coréen, avec Mme Cheon Un-yeong qui présenta son roman Adieu le cirque ! (Serge Safran éditeur) et M. Kim Un-su Le Placard (éditions Ginkgo).

Ces deux représentants de la nouvelle génération d'écrivains coréens apportent une vision différente mais complémentaire sur la société moderne contemporaine en général, et coréenne en particulier. L'une aborde le phénomène des mariages arrangés entre Chine et Corée, l'autre celui des absurdités de la vie bureaucratique à l'ère post-moderne.

Screen adaptations of books are a dime a dozen these days. A hot title comes on the market and you can expect to see it on the screen in a year or so. But once in a while, along comes a book so inherently cinematic that it is practically a movie beaming off the pages. The Plotters by South Korean...

In his increasingly curmudgeonly later years, Kingsley Amis claimed only to favour novels that began: “A shot rang out.” The opening of Korean author Un-su Kim’s The Plotters has the potential to satisfy that boozy reactionary of English letters, as a hired gun lines up his prey in the telescopic...
