Kim Young-ha is a modern S Korean writer.[1]

Life [edit]

Kim was born in Hwacheon on November 11, 1968. He moved from place to place as a kid, since his father was in the war machine. As a child, he suffered from gas poisoning from coal gas and lost memory before ten.[2] He was educated at Yonsei University in Seoul, earning undergraduate as well every bit graduate degrees in Concern Administration from Yonsei Academy, just he didn't show much interest in it. Instead he focused on writing stories. Kim, subsequently graduating from Yonsei Academy in 1993, began his military service as an banana detective at the military constabulary 51st Infantry Division near Suwon. His career as a professional person author started in 1995 right after discharge when his short-story A Meditation On Mirror (Geoure daehan myeongsang) appeared in Review, and the post-obit year, won the 1st New Writer's Accolade given by Munhak Dongne with the novel, I Have a Correct to Destroy Myself (Naneun nareul pagoehal gwolliga itda).[1]

Kim previously worked equally a professor in the Drama School at Korean National University of Arts and on a regular basis hosted a book-themed radio program. In autumn 2008, he resigned all his jobs to devote himself exclusively to writing. Kim also translates English novels, most recently a Korean adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. He was a visiting scholar at Columbia Academy from September 2010 to June 2011.[3] [4]

Work [edit]

His first novel, published in Korean in 1996, was I Have the Right to Destroy Myself. Information technology has been translated into English, French, German language, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Mongolian. His historical novel Black Flower, which won the Dong-in Literary Award in 2004, tells the story of Korean migrant workers in Mexico later involved in a Pancho Villa-led military uprising. Sources of inspiration for this novel came from classical Bildungsroman, stories of sea trips equally illustrated by the popular film Titanic, ethnography of religion, likewise every bit Korean histories of exile and immigration. Some other case of Kim'south mixed mode is found in Your Republic Is Calling You lot, his fourth novel, in which he raises the question of human identity in a democratic and consumerist Korean society by presenting a Due north Korean spy and his family in Seoul in the manner of a crime fiction combined with a truncated family saga and naturalist delineation of everyday life. Information technology has been translated seven languages including English (US title: Your Republic Is Calling You).[5]

Kim Young-ha is often judged as a writer skilled in rendering 1990's urban sensibilities.[i] Featuring a professional suicide assistant as a protagonist, I Have a Right to Destroy Myself pioneers a new realm in the genre of fantasy literature; stories contained in Summoning and What Happened to the Man Caught in the Elevator Door? tackle computer games, plastic art, cult movies, earnest situations, homosexuality, and other subject area matters not commonly explored in Korean literature, which are becoming a office of modern reality. Kim'southward stories utilize unfamiliar or fifty-fifty strange settings to explore the by-product of modern capitalism and urban culture, such every bit breach and inability to communicate, farthermost narcissism and its limitations. His 2nd novel, Why Did Arang, centers on the legend of Arang. Murdered by her nanny, Arang becomes a ghost haunting all Miryang deputies in an attempt to betrayal her killer. The terrified deputies, withal, die of fear as soon as they run into the ghost, and Arang remains a woeful spirit until a deputy brave enough to stand the sight of her is assigned to Miryang region and finally avenges her. The ancient fable of Arang unfolds simultaneously with the story of ii present 24-hour interval characters, hairdresser Yeongju and writer Park; and the narrator takes up the dual office of a storyteller recounting the fable of Arang as well as a detective providing hints and evidence necessary for solving the mysteries presented in the novel. Employing the devices of a detective novel, and at the aforementioned time parodying an ancient legend, Why Did Arang reveals that the author'south interest in the fine art of fiction extends across mere plot or characterization to the function of narrator and the very definition of storytelling.

Two films accept already been based on his fiction: My Right to Ravage Myself (2003)[6] and The Ruby-red Letter,[vii] and the cinematic adaptation of Your Republic Is Calling You is currently[ when? ] in progress. in 2014, his novel, Brother Has Returned was used equally the ground of the motion picture Full Messed Family.[8] His novel, The Quiz Bear witness, was also made into a musical.[9] In addition, Kim'southward work is popular with fans online who have fabricated videos[10] and animations[xi] of his work. In 2017, A Murderer's Guide to Memorization was besides adapted into the film Memoir of a Murderer.[12]
