    Kim Sok Bom et al / 金石範 / 2000 / -

    Mélange de rêve et de réalité, semée d'images puissamment évocatrices et de notations de sensations ou d'émotions de tous registres, l'œuvre de Sok Bom KIM constitue un univers romanesque complet. C'est en même temps un témoignage historique essentiel sur le soulèvement de l'île de Cheju en 1948, contre la dictature de Syngman Rhee soutenue par la présence de l'armée américaine en Corée du Sud.   Source: https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=94NK2re1x9wC&dq=2747500675&hl=ko&sa=X&ei=dEvIVJL8OILt8gWGqYCgCA&ved=0CBsQ6AEwAA

    A central work of postwar Japanese fiction, The Curious Tale of Mandogi's Ghost incorporates Korean folk tales, ghost stories, and myth into a phenomenal depiction of epic tragedy. Written by a zainichi, a permanent resident of Japan who is not of Japanese ancestry, the novel inventively imagines a long-supressed event in Japanese colonial history-the Cheju Uprising of 1948-and captures in style and substance the predicament of Koreans living under Japanese rule. Kim Sok-pom tells the story of Mandogi, a young priest living on the island of Cheju-do. Mandogi becomes unwittingly involved in the Four-Three Incident of 1948, in which the South Korean government brutally suppressed an armed peasant uprising and purged Cheju-do of communist sympathizers. Although Mandogi is sentenced to death for his part in the riot, he survives (in a sense) to take revenge on his enemies and fully commit himself to the resistance. Mandogi's indeterminate, shapeshifting character is emblematic of colonialism's outsized impact on both ruler and ruled. One of the most significant zainichi novels to date, The Curious Tale of Mandogi's Ghost relates the trauma of a long-forgotten history and its indelible imprint on Japanese and Korean memory.

    1st Collection of Short Stories on Jeju April 3 Incident Published in 1957 to Inform the World Kim Sok-pom has devoted his writing career to raising awareness of the Jeju April 3 Incident through literature. Death of a Crow (1957) marked the beginning of his campaign as his leading work and the one that earned him recognition. By writing about the uprising, he delved into history and human problems. Chronicling a variety of lives in the event was also how he gained understanding of this world. “Bak-seobang, Jailer,” “Death of a Crow,” and “Gwandeokjeong,” a series of closely intertwined works in this book, depict Jeju amid the massacre that lasted for about a year from summer 1948; “Death of a Crow” and “Gwandeokjeong” are about the same person. Though “Feces and Freedom” and “A Tale of a False Dream” did not deal with the uprising directly, they show why the author studied the massacre and his opinions of it.
