Summary: A hidden gem of short stories
Comment: I had come across this gem of short stories while taking a break from a classical Chinese literature class during my Master's studies. First, I commend Bruce Fulton for his poetic translations. Having read some of the stories in Korean, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the translations.
The book is comprised of Korean "award winners" of the 1980's who happen to be females. The topics range widely but the theme that runs its course throughout all the stories are of frustration and despair brought on by the oppressive and traditional dictates of Korean society. All the antagonists view and form their identity in relation to men and also to their roles as mothers and wives. If their characters seem feeble, it is only because the authors are bold in exposing the societal ills that lie beneath the much censored nation.
