A Ready Made Life is the first volume of early modern Korean fiction to appear in English in the U.S. Written between 1921 and 1943, the sixteen stories are an excellent introduction to the riches of modern Korean fiction. They reveal a variety of settings, voices, styles, and thematic concerns, and the best of them, masterpieces written mainly in the mid-1930s, display an impressive artistic maturity. Included among these authors are Hwang Sun-won, modern Korea's greatest short story writer; Kim Tong-in, regarded by many as the author who best captures the essence of the Korean identity; Ch'ae Man-shik, a master of irony; Yi Sang, a prominent modernist; Kim Yu-jong, whose stories are marked by a unique blend of earthy humor and compassion; Yi Kwang-su and Kim Tong-ni, modernizers of the language of twentieth-century Korean fiction; and Yi Ki-yúng, Yi T'ae-jun, and Pak T'ae-won, three writers who migrated to North Korea shortly after Liberation in 1945 and whose works were subsequently banned in South Korea until democratization in the late 1980s. One way of reading the stories, all of which were written during the Japanese occupation, is that beneath their often oppressive and gloomy surface lies an anticolonial subtext. They can also be read as a collective record of a people whose life choices were severely restricted, not just by colonization, but by education (either too little or too much, as the title story shows) and by a highly structured society that had little tolerance for those who overstepped its boundaries. Life was unremittingly onerous for many Koreans during this period, whatever their social background. In the stories, educated city folk fare little better than farmers and laborers. https://www.abebooks.com/9780824820718/Ready-Made-Life-Early-Masters-Modern-0824820711/plp

Written in the 1930s, Scenes from Chonggye Stream is a collage of the daily lives of ordinary people who live along Chonggy Stream, which courses through the center of Seoul, Korea. The novel is divided into fifty chapters of differing lengths. It has neither a protagonist nor a plot but instead is a naturalistic description of the intertwined lives of almost fifty characters. The streamside milieu plays an important role, affording the readers a window into the social conditions and the stark realities the various characters face during this period. Pak sets his modernist vignettes of urban life during the 1930s when Korea was under Japanese colonial rule. In spite of the hardships Koreans suffered, it was also the time when Korea was changing from a traditional society to a modern one, with the introduction of a new world order and goods from the West via Japan. Social structure also changed and evolved at this time. At its heart, Chonggye Stream is an engaging, informative, and often humorous observations and commentaries on the social conditions of the citizens who lived along the stream during the 1930s.

Dieser Roman steht für eine im Korea der ersten Hälfte des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts neu entstehende Literatur, die das Großstadtleben zu ihrem Thema macht. Durch die Anwendung modernistischer Techniken, die sicher nicht zufällig an James Joyces Darstellungsweise von Dublin erinnern, gelingt Pak ein faszinierendes Kaleidoskop städtischen Lebens im Seoul der 1930er Jahre, im Spannungsfeld zwischen Tradition und Moderne.   Source: http://www.reihe-phoenixfeder.de/rpf/016.html
