Jeong Dosang (1960-) is a South Korean novelist. He made his literary debut in 1987 with the publication of his short story “Sibobang iyagi” (십오방 이야기 The Story of Room 15) in the anthology of short stories about the Gwangju Uprising Ireoseoneun ttang (일어서는 땅 The Rising Land). Jeong captures the problems of violence inflicted on individuals by the state that dominated Korean society in the 1980s, including the Gwangju Uprising, as well as the wounds of the people through microscopic narratives, rather than a grand narrative, and beautiful sentences.
