Openly queer or transgender writers such as Kim Bi, Sang Young Park, and Yi Seoyoung are now receiving national and international attention. But the rich variety of queer Korean writing also extends into the past, as the nine stories in this volume show.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with contemporary works of fiction by Kim, Park, and Yi and reaching back through the last century, this collection places expressions of queerness in historical and cultural context.

Featuring works by the canonical authors Yi Kwangsu, Yi Kiyŏng, Ch'oe Chŏnghŭi, and O Chŏnghŭi and works by Yu Sŭngjin and Kim Sunyŏng that have been recovered from archives, this collection reflects the diversity of modern Korean literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains the following works: \"Yundo ga torawatta\" (2017), \"Sam-hangnyŏn i-ban\" (2016), \"Haesut'ang\" (2006), \"Sanjo\" (1970), \"I chŏlmang sok e purimch'igo\" (1965), \"Pom\" (1950), selections from the novel Pom (1940), \"Ŏnni, chŏn tallara ro\" (1933), and \"Yun Kwangho\" (1918).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55143842152822,"sku":"9781603296250","price":30.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_38244514_3a295554-c026-40de-be69-d0ee092a894a.jpg?v=1763843739","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781603296250-hanguk","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
