The Future of Silence: Fiction by Korean Women

The Future of Silence: Fiction by Korean Women - Ju-chan Fulton

The Future of Silence: Fiction by Korean Women


These nine stories span half a century of contemporary writing in Korea (1970s-2010s), bringing together some of the most famous twentieth-century women writers with a new generation of young, bold voices. Their work explores a world not often seen in the West, taking us into the homes, families, lives and psyches of Korean women, men, and children.

In the earliest of the stories, Pak Wan-so, considered the elder stateswoman of contemporary Korean fiction, opens the door into two Identical Apartments where sisters-in-law, bound as much by competition as love, struggle to live with their noisy, extended families. O Chong-hui, who has been compared to Joyce Carol Oates and Alice Munro, examines a day in the life of a woman after she is released from a mental institution, while younger writers, such as Kim Sagwa, Han Yujoo and Ch'on Un-yong explore violence, biracial childhood, and literary experimentation. These stories will sometimes disturb and sometimes delight, as they illuminate complex issues in Korean life and literature.

Internationally acclaimed translators Bruce and Ju-Chan Fulton have won several awards and fellowships for the numerous works of Korean literature they have translated into English.

Featuring these authors and stories:

Pak Wan-so: Identical Apartments Kim Chi-won: Almaden So Yong-un: Dear Distant Love O Chong-hui: Wayfarer Kong Son-ok: The Flowering of Our Lives Kim Ae-ran: The Future of Silence Han Yujoo: I Am the Scribe--Or Am I Kim Sagwa: Today Is One of Those The-More-You-Move-the-Stranger-It-Gets Days, and It's Simply Amazing Ch'on Un-yong: Ali Skips Rope
