Fiction is a Journey Into the Complexity of Human Identity

One-Liner Quotes   Fiction is a Journey Into the Complexity of Human Identity A Newly-Debuted Korean Novelist’s Pick   2023.09.04   Kim Ki-Tae has been publishing a number of short fiction stories depicting contemporary Korean society since he won the Dong-A Ilbo Shinchun Literary Prize in 2022. He is currently writing full-length novels based on world history.   The world is a jumbled mess, and humans cannot be explained by a single identity. I began to have a sense of this as I read Korean novels from the 1940s. From the mixed landscape at the end of the Japanese occupation to the rather abrupt independence and ideological conflict, the 1940s may be the most chaotic period in Korean history. The novels of this period portray human beings wandering in the midst of various crisscrossing powers.     Kim Nam-Cheon (1911-?) began his writing career in t...

From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature

Topic   From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature   2023.08.07   Korean mystery literature originated in the unique conditions of the Japanese occupation. Introduced under the names of spy novels, detective stories, and detective novels, mystery literature was translated and adapted mainly from newspaper serials. A representative work is Arthur Conan Doyle’s Three Students, which Haemongsaeng adapted and published as Faithful Servent on Taeseomunyesinbo in 1918. Most of the works serialized in newspapers at the time were re-translations of works by Ruiko Kuriowa, a Japanese author of adapted novels. By the 1920s, adapted mystery novels moved out of newspapers and were published in magazines such as Hacksaengkye, Chungnyeon, and Dongmyung, and emphasized that they were intellectual works for readers with a certain level of reading ability, such as educated young adults and students.However, the writers who translated and wrote mystery literature w...

Mexican Readers and Korean Literature

Export Case   Mexican Readers and Korean Literature Korean Literature is the Promised Land of the Western Publishing Market   2023.08.07   Although Mexico and South Korea are on different continents and have many differences, they both have a history of fighting for their identity and country. While some events, such as the immigration of the first Korean community to Mexico in 1905, have been erased from Mexico’s official history (the historical debt is still being addressed), there is no arguing that the friendly relationship between the two countries is growing stronger every day as they find common ground.Korea has increasingly expanded its influence through its culture and entertainment industry to bring down the borders, and its music and TV series, especially the drama and action genres, have been favored by Latin American audiences, including Mexico. Latin American audiences have long been influenced by the United States in their approach to universal hu...
