"Novelist Han Kang, Origin of Stories"
In Han Kang's novels, the lonely, tired, and sensitive people generally do not express intense emotions. They do not make a loud noise, but wander the city with a silent expression and do not show off their pain. They just endure. As you pass by the realistic landscapes depicted in beautiful and lyrical sentences, the emotions described in the novels rise up to your throat like a tidal wave. Many readers have resonated with his novels through works such as 'The Vegetarian' and 'The Boy Comes'. The origin of the loneliness, longing, and drifting described in his novels can be found in this first collection of short stories published by the author in 1995.
In someone's song, Yeosu, a place where 'there was a beautiful story'. In Seo Hyo-in's poem, it was 'a city with a woman I love', but for Ja-heun and Jeong-seon, it becomes a place they cannot leave no matter how much they leave, a place they cannot reach even if they find it. Yeosu in Han Kang's novels is a place where 'rusty iron wires cry out with wounded voices'. Any reader who can recognize that "the countless scars of time revealed in the indifferent and weary smile of the traces" are "an expression easily found in people who have been waiting for something for a long time" will not be able to help but love this pitiful sadness of the Han River.
