Description 작품 소개

Fruits of My Woman

Fruits of My Woman is Han Kang’s second short story collection comprising eight stories written between 1996 and 2000. One of the eight stories is Baby Buddha, the winner of the 25th Korean Fiction Award. Throughout her oeuvre, Han Kang’s poetic prose has notably depicted the weariness of life and personhood, and the beauty trapped in loneliness and sorrow. This book also illustrates people whose relationships go awry for being unable to find hope in life. The stories seem to discover “the ordinary truth that ‘I’ am the very process of transformation like flowing water,” only to fall back into doubts. In Fruits of My Woman, a person is as fragile a being as a tiny tit bird yet capable of raging the battle for survival to reinvigorate her torn, fragmented life.

Han Kang was born in the winter of 1970. In 1993, she published four poems including “Winter in Seoul” in the winter issue of Literature and Society, and the next year, her short story Red Anchor won the 1994 Seoul Shinmun’s New Writers Contest. She is the author of the novels Black Deer, Your Cold Hands, The Vegetarian, The Wind Blows, Leave, Greek Lessons, Human Acts, The White Book, and I Do Not Bid Farewell, the short story collections Yeosu, Fruits of My Woman, and Fire Salamander, and the poetry collection I Put The Evening in the Drawer. Her honors include the 1999 Korean Fiction Award, the 2000 Today’s Young Artist Award, the 2005 Yi Sang Literary Award, the 2010 Dongni Literary Award, the 2014 Manhae Literary Award, the 2015 Hwang Sun-won Literary Award, the 2016 Man Booker International Prize, the 2017 Malaparte Prize, the 2018 San Clemente Literary Prize, the 2018 Kim Yu-jeong Literary Award, the 2022 Manjung Literary Award, and the 2022 Daesan Literary Award, among others.
