Stories for Catch The Wave show on Korean Modern Lit

A reminder that today at about 7:10 pm (Seoul time) and then again at 4 am Monday morning (Seoul time) you can hear me on Catch The Wave  discussing 5 short stories that roughly sketch out the eras of Korean modern literature

  • Colonial (with three mini-eras)
  • Separation
  • Miracle on the Han
  • Post-modern

For that, I have attached a PDF here with the main stories I discuss:

  • Wings by Yi Sang
  • A Society that Drives you to Drink by Hyon Chin-gon
  • Cranes by Hwang Sun-won
  • A section of The Dwarf by Cho Se-hui
  • Whatever Happened to the Man in the Elevator by Kim Young-ha
