Lost souls : stories
These captivating short stories portray three major periods in modern Korean history: the forces of colonial modernity during the late 1930s; the postcolonial struggle to rebuild society after four decades of oppression, emasculation, and cultural exile (1945 to 1950); and the attempt to reconstruct a shattered land and a traumatized nation after the Korean War. Lost Souls echoes the exceptional work of China's Shen Congwen and Japan's Kawabata Yasunari. Modernist narratives set in the metropolises of Tokyo and Pyongyang alternate with starkly realistic portraits of rural life. Surrealist tales suggest the unsettling sensation of colonial domination, while stories of the outcast embody the thrill and terror of independence and survival in a land dominated by tradition and devastated by war. Written during the chaos of 1945, \"Booze\" recounts a fight between Koreans for control of a former Japanese-owned distillery. \"Toad\" relates the suffering created by hundreds of thousands of returning refugees, and stories from the 1950s confront the catastrophes of the Korean War and the problematic desire for autonomy. Visceral and versatile, Lost Souls is a classic work on the possibilities of transition that showcases the innovation and craftsmanship of a consummate -- and widely celebrated -- storyteller.

Genre Fiction in Korean Literature
First of all, Koreans tend to use the terms literature (munhak) and fiction (sosöl) interchangeably, and that is true of this essay. Kim Young-ha (Kim Yöngha), in a 2004 roundtable discussion of genre literature, mentioned that \"it's time for mainstream literature to consider the threat of 'genericization.'\" He sees in the protagonists of literary works an increasing morbidity, residence in substandard housing, blurred family relationships, and similar points of interest. The evaluation of such works by the pure literature establishment was that such stories not only gave pleasure in reading but also presented a new outlook on life, different from that of science fiction stories.7 According to one critic, \"It's necessary to remember that the best narratives in genre fiction are in a sense the best in terms of literary quality and have established themselves as literature. Just as pure literature in its incarnations of mainstream (pongyök) literature, division (pundan) literature, establishment (churyu) literature, and institutional (chedokwön) literature built solid authority, genre literature has established itself by bundling similar materials and narrative styles such as science fiction, fantasy, speculative fiction, thriller, mystery, horror, detective, romance, adventure, fact-based fiction (\"faction\"), and martial arts.
