Book Description:

The Real Modern examines three Korean authors of the 1930s--Pak T'aewon, Kim Yujong, and Yi T'aejun--whose works critique competing modes of literary representation in the period of Japanese colonial rule. A re-reading of modernist fiction within the imperial context, it sheds new light on the relationship between political discourse and aesthetics.
