Plot

After moving to Seongbuk-dong, the narrator becomes acquainted with Hwang Su-geon, an assistant newspaper deliveryman. He is an “idiot” who has intellectual disability, but the narrator enjoys having conversations with him. Hwang Su-geon’s dream is to be promoted to a deliveryman, but he is laid off from the newspaper for being a “halfwit” and even his wife runs away from home. One day, as the narrator returns home, he sees Hwang Su-geon, singing a lonely song under the moonlight.

Descriptions(Languages 1)
  • Korean(한국어)

1933년 11월 <중앙>에 발표된 단편소설이다. '반편'이라는 이유로 사람 대접을 받지 못하지만 남다른 의리와 인정을 가진 인물의 삶을 다루고 있다. 이태준 특유의 치밀하고 정확한 문장으로 소외당한 사람의 쓸쓸함을 드러내었다.
