<p>Spanning a single day, this tense spy novel from Kim (I Have the Right to Destroy Myself), marred only by some stilted prose, is also a deeply compelling study of the self and varying themes of trust. Kim Ki-yong, a North Korean spy who's lived undercover for 21 years, has fully adapted to life in Seoul, South Korea, where he runs a successful foreign-film importing business, owns a home, and has a wife and teenage daughter, neither of whom is aware of his past or actual identity. As Ki-yong ponders returning to the austere and sterile militaristic regime of the North after receiving a coded message from his handler ("Liquidate everything and return immediately"), his wife, Ma-ri, struggles with infidelity and his daughter, Hyon-mi, maneuvers the tumultuous and tricky landscape of adolescence. Kim offers a riveting tale of espionage along with keen observations of human behavior.</p>

Thrillers & Suspense

Korean novelist Kim's tantalizing 1996 debut novel concerns a calculating, urbane young man who makes a business of helping his clients commit suicide. The narrator's favorite painting, Jacques-Louis David's The Death of Marat, encapsulates his outlook-to be detached and cold, an approach reflected in his account of a recent client who was romantically involved with two brothers (called C and K). The woman, Se-yeon, is a young, spacey, lollipop-sucking drifter who first hangs out with K before bedding C. Cab-driver K and video artist C become obsessed with Se-Yeon, who looks (to them) like Gustave Klimt's Judith. Judith, as they subsequently refer to her, later wanders off into a snowstorm, never to be seen by the brothers again. However, in this eerie, elliptical narrative, Judith reappears as the narrator's client. Moreover, Judith morphs into other objects of desire, such as a woman from Hong Kong the narrator meets in Vienna and an elusive performance artist named Mimi whom C films. Kim's work is a self-conscious literary exploration of truth, death, desire and identity, and though it traffics in racy themes, it never devolves into base voyeurism.

Haruki, Murakami

1960년 첫 단편 「분노의 계절」을 발표한 이후 1988년 폐암으로 세상을 떠날 때까지 삼십 년 가까운 세월 동안 그는 소설집, 시집, 에세이 등 십여 권의 책을 펴냈다. 그러나 카버의 진면목은 무엇보다 단편소설에서 확인할 수 있으며, 그런 까닭에 전 세계 많은 젊은 소설가들이 좋아하는 작가로 주저 없이 '레이먼드 카버'를 꼽는다. 소설가 무라카미 하루키 역시 카버의 팬을 자처하며, 그의 소설을 직접 번역해 일본에 소개하기도 했다. 『대성당』은 단편작가로서 절정기에 올라 있던 레이먼드 카버의 문학적 성과가 고스란히 담겨 있는, 그의 대표작이다. 표제작 「대성당」을 비롯해 「별것 아닌 것 같지만, 도움이 되는」 「깃털들」 등 총 열두 편의 단편이 실려 있는 이 작품집은, 평단과 독자의 지지를 동시에 얻으며 퓰리처상과 전미도서상 후보에도 올랐다.

한국소설의 내일을 담당할 젊은 작가들의 젊은 소설! A young novel by a young writer who will be responsible for tomorrow in Korean novels! 한 해 동안 발표한 중단편소설 중 빛나는 성취를 보여준 작품에 수여하는 문학동네 젊은작가상. 2010년에 제정된 '젊은작가상'은 열정과 패기로 충만한 한국 문단의 젊은 작가들을 대상으로, 등단 십 년 이내의 작가들로 제한하여 그동안 집중적으로 조명되지 않은 개성에 주목한다. 매해 일곱 편의 수상작과 젊은 평론가의 해설을 엮어 출간해온 젊은작가상 수상작품집은 한국문학의 정체를 한순간도 용납하지 않고 갱신을 반복하는 젊은 작가들의 노력의 결실이기도 하다. A young writer's award in a literary neighborhood awarded for a work that showed brilliant achievement among the half-time novels announced throughout the year. The "Young Artist Award," which was enacted in 2010, focuses on young artists in the Korean literature who are filled with passion and desire, limited to artists within the first decade of the year, and focus on individuality that has not been intensively illuminated. The award-winning works of young writers that have been published by commenting on seven award-winning works and young critics every year are the result of the efforts of young artists who repeat the renewal without accepting the identity of Korean literature for a moment. 제9회 젊은작가상 대상 수상작은 김준성문학상, 문지문학상을 잇따라 수상하며 지금 한국 문단에서 강력한 존재감을 드러내고 있는 박민정의 《세실, 주희》로, 초기작에서부터 품어온 문제의식이 구성적 정밀함과 어우러진 수작이다. 제8회 젊은작가상 대상 수상 작가인 임현을 제외한 여섯 명의 작가들은 젊은작가상에 처음으로 이름을 올렸다. 아직 집중적으로 조명되지 않은 신예 작가들의 탁월한 작품을 만나보는 즐거움을 느낄 수 있을 것이다. The winner of the 9th Young Artist Award is the "Cecil, Zhuhei" of Park Min-jung, who has won the Kim Joon-seon Literary Award and the Munji Literary Award for the first time. Six writers, except Lim Hyun, the winner of the 8th Young Artist Award, were the first to be named young writers. It will be a pleasure to mee 박상영 - 알려지지 않은 예술가의 눈물과 자이툰 파스타 최정나 - 한밤의 손님들 김세희 - 가만한 나날 정영수 - 더 인간적인 말 임 현 - 그들의 이해관계 임성순 - 회랑을 배회하는 양떼와 그 포식자들 박민정 - 세실, 주희
