Yi Mun-yol: the Poet

Yi Mun-yol: the Poet(Harvill 1995)

SterneSterneSterneSterneSterne

Novel based on the life of a 19th century poet, Kim Sakkat, exploring his development as an artist against the backdrop of the insurrection by Hong Kyong-rae in the north-west. I was reminded of this book when watching the Im-Kwon Taek film Chihwaseon because of its storyline of a wandering artist. (First published 1992). See also review in Complete Review
