  1. 1. Modern Korean Fiction

    An accessible anthology of twentieth-century Korean short fiction in English translation that surveys major movements and writers—from colonial-era realism and wartime and postwar depictions of division and displacement to the social upheavals of rapid modernization—whose selections illuminate recurring themes of identity, memory, class and gender tensions, and the pressures of urban life, while editorial introductions and notes provide historical and linguistic context for Anglophone readers.
