This study examines the meaning of local in the full-length novel Deep rivers flow written by Yeom In-soo who was active in the liberation space war and examines the significance of geopolitical writing reflected in his literary works. Yeom In-soo wrote in his novel, Deep rivers flow, all his life history, which began to escape as a worker because of his leftist activities. Superficially, this work takes a structure that restores its identity as a writer, but he never gave up on his identity as a writer the whole time. For him, who never stopped writing while living as a worker, the writing was an artistic practice that made him to kept thinking about who he was and how he should live. And while suffering from his identity as a writer, Yeom In-soo showed in his novel Deep rivers flow, which shows how the literature of Liberation Space in Daejeon looked like, and on the other hand, the fact that his literary world is rooted in Daejeon. His life, displaced from the novel Deep rivers flow to "Deep River," remains a trail of map drawing of the border thinking about the external paradigm of the dominant discourse, showing a possibility for local literature to pursue.
