He has long been recognized as one of Korea's most prolific and demanding authors. Since his debut in 1965, he has enjoyed consistent critical and commercial success. His characters are ordinary people—writers, farmers, photographers and artisans—all struggling to survive in an increasingly materialistic and complicated society. They search for life's significance in the whirlwind change of modern Korea only to discover that the answers to their questions run deep beneath the surface of reality. This collection provides a cross-section of Yi's work, beginning with the haunting novella, The Falconer (1968) and ending with The Fire Worshipers, which won the National Literary Award from the Korean Culture and Arts Foundation in 1986.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmAuthor: Chong-Jun YiTranslator: Julie PickeringContributor: Julie Pickering (Translated by)Genre: Literary CriticismItem Width: 22mmItem Weight: 454gRelease Year: 2010 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
