1969년3월<문화비평>창간호에 연재를 시작했지만 잡지사의 사정으로 중단했다가 1970년3월 재개했다가 다시 중단된 이청준의 장편소설이다. 연재당시 제목은 <선고유예>였으며 이후 1972년 소설집<소문의 벽>에 수록되어 출간할 때 제목을 바꾸었다. 작품은 주인공의 사유와 행적을 기록한 것으로, 일어나지 않은 일에 대한 기록의 성격을 지니고있다.

Yi Chong-jun serialized this story in the first issue of Literature and Criticism in March 1969, but due to problems at the magazine, the serial stopped and was resumed in March 1970. The original title was Suspended Sentence, and it was published together with the story “The Wall of Rumor” in a single volume with the title  The Wall of Rumor in 1972. The story follows the main character’s past and thoughts in a society that prohibits freedom of speech.
