조정래, 23년 만의 신작 장편소설

우리 시대의 진정한 작가 조정래의 신작 장편소설 『인간 연습』이 실천문학사에서 출간되었다. 신작 소설로는 『한강』 이후 4년 만이고, 장편소설로는 1983년에 출간된 연작장편 『불놀이』 이후 무려 23년 만이다. 계간 『실천문학』 2006년 봄·여름호에 걸쳐 2회 분재되었던 것을 단행본으로 엮은 것이다. 앞선 대하소설들이 민족의 역사를 객관적 시각으로 재현하는 데 초점을 맞추었다면, ‘사회주의 붕괴와 20세기’라는 주제로 사회주의 몰락의 원인을 문학적으로 규명한 전작 연작소설(단편 『수수께끼의 길』. 『문학사상』 2004년 1월호, 중편 『안개의 열쇠』, 『실천문학』 2003년 겨울호)의 맥을 잇는 이 소설은 분단시대의 고통을 온몸으로 감당해온 한 개인의 시각을 통해 사회주의 몰락 이후의 새로운 삶의 가능성을 탐색하는 데 초점이 맞추어져 있다.
『작가의 말』에서 “내 문학에서 분단문제를 마무리할 수 있었으면 좋겠다는 생각으로 이번 소설을 지었다”고 밝히고 있듯이 이 소설로써 분단 이야기를 끝낸다는 점에서, 그리고 장장 20년 세월을 바쳐 우리 민족의 근현대사와 씨름하면서 일궈낸 대하소설 3부작의 끝머리에 놓인다는 점에서 그 의미가 크다 하겠다. 『태백산맥』에서 시작하여 『아리랑』을 거쳐 『한강』에 이르는 조정래 문학은 이 소설로 더욱 빛을 발할 것이다.
