Plot

Kim In-yeong, a journalist for a magazine, comes across Im Ui-seon in the streets by chance. Im Ui-seon is suffering from memory loss, and Ui-seon begins to live together with Myeong-yun, who is In-yeong’s college friend. A little while later, Ui-seon leaves. Myeong-yun then asks In-yeong to go look for Ui-seon, and the two leave for the mines in Gangwon Province.

Descriptions(Languages 2)
  • English(English)
  • Korean(한국어)

This is Han Kang’s first novel published in 1998. It tells the story of the dark and painful lives and people who live them. It is evaluated as a work that shows detailed descriptions, solid narrative, and the author’s awareness of dissolution and emptiness.

1998년 발표된 한강의 첫 장편소설이다. 이 작품은 어둡고 고통스러운 삶과 그것을 견뎌내는 사람들의 이야기를 다루고 있다. 치밀한 묘사와 견고한 서사, 소멸과 허무에 대한 작가의 의식이 잘 드러난 작품이라는 평가를 받는다.
