실종된 세계, 실종된 의미, 그럼에도 불구하고
‘인간만세’를 외치는 오한기식 ‘진짜’ 리얼리티
제7회 젊은작가상 수상 작가 오한기 신작

한국 문학에서 가장 실험적인 시도를 보여주는 작가 대열의 선두에 선 오한기의 『인간만세』가 [소설, 향]의 다섯 번째 책으로 출간되었다. 답십리도서관 상주 작가 경험기를 토대로 한 『인간만세』는 그의 전작들과 마찬가지로 기존 소설의 관습과 문법을 비틀며 ‘소설 이후의 소설’이라는 새로운 형식을 향해 종횡무진 나아간다. 소설은 한국문화예술위원회의 청탁으로, 작품을 써야 하는 소설가 ‘나’의 이야기로 시작된다. 소설을 구상하는 과정에서 나는 그간 있었던 도서관에서의 일화들을 떠올리고 있는데, 그의 앞에는 중대한 두 가지 문제가 놓여 있다. 바로 강연용 무선마이크를 분실했다는 것과 어디선가 계속 ‘똥!’이라는 외침이 들려온다는 것. 상주 작가 자리를 위태롭게 하는 마이크는 과연 어디로 갔을까, 그리고 이 괴이한 외침은 도대체 누구의 짓일까. ‘나’는 이 두 가지 문제를 두고 무척이나 괴로워하는데, 상주 작가를 그만두면 될 일이겠지만 그리 간단하지만은 않다. 문학이란 과연 무엇이고, 인간 존재란 또 무엇인가라는 거대한 질문들이 ‘똥!’이라는 단말마로 요약되고 마는 것을 가만히 두고 볼 수만은 없는, ‘나’는 다름 아닌 ‘작가’이기 때문이다.

그의 작품을 꾸준히 좇아온 독자라면 이번에도 ‘쓰는 화자’를 내세운 오한기의 더욱 집요하고도 꾸준한 탐색이 놀랍고도 반가울 것이며, 처음 만나는 독자라도 시대착오적인 등장인물들, 어처구니없지만 정교한 상상력, 비논리를 논리적으로 끌어가는 내러티브와 기묘한 핍진성을 마주하며 ‘소설 그 자체로서의 소설’이 불러일으키는 신선한 사유와 감각을 마주하게 될 것이다.
