Journeying through Korea's dramatic twentieth century, from the Japanese occupation and colonial era to the devastating war between North and South and the rapid, disorienting urbanization of later decades, \u003ci\u003eThe Penguin Book of Korean Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e captures a hundred years of Korea's vibrant short-story tradition. Here are peddlers and donkeys traveling across moonlit fields; artists drinking and debating in the tea-houses of 1920s Seoul; soldiers fighting for survival; exiles from the war who can never go home again; and lonely men and women searching for connection in the dizzying modern city. The collection features stories by some of Korea's greatest writers, including Pak Wanso, O Chonghui, and Cho Chongnae, as well as many brilliant contemporary voices, such as P'yon Hyeyong, Han Yujoo, and Kim Aeran. Curated by Bruce Fulton, this is a volume that will surprise, unsettle, and delight.\u003ci\u003eChronology\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction by \u003c\/i\u003eKwon Youngmin\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEditorial Note by \u003c\/i\u003eBruce Fulton\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNote on Korean Name Order and Pronunciation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eTRADITION\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYi Hyosŏk\u003cbr\u003eWhen The Buckwheat Blooms\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTranslated by Kim Chong-un and Bruce Fulton\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eCh'ae Manshik\u003cbr\u003eA Man Called Hŭngbo\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTranslated by Ross King and Bruce and Ju-Chan Fulton\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChu Yosŏp\u003cbr\u003eMama and the Boarder\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTranslated by Kim Chong-un and Bruce Fulton\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eYi Munyŏl\u003cbr\u003eThe Old Hatter\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTranslated by Suh Ji-Moon\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eKim Taeyong\u003cbr\u003ePig on Grass\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTranslated by Bruce and Ju-Chan Fulton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eWOMEN AND MEN\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePak T'aewŏn\u003cbr\u003eA Day in the Life of Kubo the Novelist\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTranslated by Sunyoung Park in collaboration with Jefferson J.A.
