The Underground Village: Short Stories
Kang Kyeong-ae, Anton Hur (translation), Sang-kyung Lee (introduction)Kang Kyeong-ae (1906-1944) was a Korean writer whose stories are remarkable for their rejection of colonialism, patriarchy, & ethnic nationalism during a period when such views were truly radical & dangerous.
Born in what is now North Korea, Kang wrote all her fiction in Manchuria during the Japanese occupation & witnessed the violence & daily struggles experienced by ethnic Koreans living in the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo. Kang's riveting stories are full of sensitivity, defiance, & a deep understanding of the oppressed people she wrote about.
This collection, beautifully translated by Anton Hur, contains all the Korean-language short stories by Kang Kyeong-ae. Sang-kyung Lee's excellent introduction provides deep insight into Kang's achievements & the social & historical contexts in which she wrote.
