    Desde el fin de las dictaduras (1961-1987) en la literatura coreana hubo un florecimiento literario no exento de crudeza, ironía y, en definitiva, una exacer¬bación de todo lo que puede pedírsele a la literatura en un país que en el siglo XX ha atravesado todos los dramas posibles. Si algo caracteriza a los ocho escritores contemporáneos que acá presentamos, es el tener posiciones políticas ligadas al contexto histórico social, y no a la autonomía literaria o a los parámetros claustrofóbicos de valoración literaria impuestos por la modernidad. Este es un atributo diferencial, no un valor. Es decir, es el modo en que lo político entra en el lenguaje de una sociedad oriental específica. Corea no terminó de salir de la pobreza y saldar los traumas que dejó el colonialismo japonés, cuando estalló la guerra de Corea (1950-1953). Las secuelas, a pesar de la entrada acelerada en el neoliberalismo y la dosis paliativa de amnesia que el mundo del entretenimiento y el consumo inyectó en una sociedad avanzada e hipertecnologizada, todavía hoy duran. Los escritores reunidos en este volumen pertenecen de algún modo a esa Corea única, previa a la división. Los ocho cuentos forman un mapa posible para entender la literatura coreana más reciente y su principal corriente: un realismo de corte social que sincroniza la literatura y la historia con el presente nacional. JI-DO, en este sentido, puede resultar una antinomia básica que muestra un secreto natural de la literatura: el de las ficciones que producen realidad.

    La ville brille, mais blesse. Elle représente toutes les illusions, les aspirations sociales de la jeunesse, mais aussi les rêves brisés, les amertumes. Dans Les Poncires, une grand-mère rompt avec la morosité de son appartement citadin pour faire un dernier voyage : les somptueux paysages de l’île de Jeju, au large de la Corée. Un homme entre deux âges retourne dans son village natal s’occuper de ses vieux parents et redécouvre la vie à la campagne dans La Lumière du printemps, tandis que le père d’une famille habitant un immeuble résidentiel considère l’éventualité d’échanger son épouse pour sa jeune voisine dans La Femme d’à côté.   source: http://www.decrescenzo-editeurs.com/portfolio-items/coree-des-villes-coree-des-champs/

    David R. McCann et al / 데이비드 매캔 et al / 2007 / KDC구분 > literature > Periodical

    "Azalea is about Korean literature and literary culture, and therefore about writing, publishing, translating, and reading. The writing has already happened, the translation too, but now for the reading! We have looked at original works, wondering who might best translate a gem. Or we have discovered a strong translation and asked, 'Can we publish it?' And how might artwork of various kinds, or perhaps photographs of Korea contemporaneous with the literary works, be added to the mix? The occasional hortatory note, such as my own in this issue about the 1953 short story 'Cranes' by Hwang Sunwon, may add another edge, perhaps, to the reader's framing and reframing of the piece." --from the Editor's Note Contributors: Heinz Insu Fenkl, Ha Seong-nan, Mickey Hong, Huh Su-gyung, Hwang In-sook, Hwang Jiwoo, Hwang Sunwon, Kim Aeran, Kim Chiha, Kim Hyesoon, Kim Jung-Hyuk, Kim Seung-Hui, Kim Young-ha, Ko Un, Lee Changdong, Lee Hye-kyung, Lee Moon-jae, Lee Si-Young, Chonggi Mah, David R.

    Ha Seong-nan / 하성란 / 2019 / KDC구분 > literature > Korean Literature > Complete Collection > Library > Complete Collection (individual)

    On the surface, Ha Seong-nan's stories seem pleasant enough, yet there's something disturbing just below the surface, ready to permanently disrupt the characters' lives. A woman meets her next-door neighbor and loans her a spatula, then starts suffering horrific gaps in her memory. A man, feeling jilted by an unrequited love, becomes obsessed with sorting through his neighbors' garbage in the belief that it will teach him how to better relate to people. A landlord decides to raise the rent, and his tenants hatch a plan to kill him at a team-building retreat. In ten captivating, unnerving stories, Flowers of Mold presents a range of ordinary individuals--male and female, young and old--who have found themselves left behind by an increasingly urbanized and fragmented world. The latest in the trend of brilliant female Korean authors to appear in English, Ha cuts like a surgeon, and even the most mundane objects become menacing and unfamiliar under her scalpel.   source: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781940953960

    Ha Seong-nan / 하성란 / 2020 / KDC구분 > literature > Korean Literature > Korean Fiction > 21st century > Short Story

    Disasters, accidents, and deaths abound in Bluebeard’s First Wife. A woman spends a night with her fiancé and his friends, and overhears a terrible secret that has bound them together since high school. A man grows increasingly agitated by the apartment noise made by a young family living upstairs and arouses the suspicion of his own wife when the neighbors meet a string of unlucky incidents. A couple moves into a picture-perfect country house, but when their new dog is stolen, they become obsessed with finding the thief, and in the process, neglect their child. Ha’s paranoia-inducing, heart-quickening stories will have you reconsidering your own neighbors.   Source : https://www.amazon.com/
