A Novel

One Left

Marshall R. Pihl

Since its original publication in 1993, this powerful collection has served as a vivid gateway to the history, society, and culture of contemporary South Korea, reflecting the poignant motif of exile in Korea's experience of modernity. This new edition has been expanded to include four new stories--Scarlet Fingernails (1987) by Kim Minsuk; The Last of Hanak'o (1992) by Ch'oe Yun, one of Korea's most important living writers; Conviction (2003) by Ch'oe Such'ol; and From Powder to Powder (2004) by Kim Hun--adding two important women's voices and extending the anthology's range into the new millennium. None of the stories in this expanded edition remains in print in any other volume, and Conviction and From Powder to Powder appear here in English for the first time.

Land of Exile

"Since its original publication, Land of Exile has become the standard English-language anthology of post-1945 Korean short fiction. This new edition renews and enriches the first. The selections have been expanded to include four new stories." "In addition, Bruce and Ju-Chan Fulton have revised the introduction, updated the headnotes, repolished translations, and appended a list of further readings. What has not changed is what the anthology offers readers: a vivid gateway to the history, society, and culture of contemporary South Korea and unforgettable stories, with the motif of exile in Korea's experience of modernity."--BOOK JACKET.
