AB - This study set out to examine the operation methods of memory-mediated narratives and "affect" generated in the process with a focus on "narratives of memory and oblivion" in A Lady Coming From Afar, a play by Baek Sam-shik, thus tracing a process toward "narratives of mourning." This work shows "places of life" that literature is supposed to hold in a society of a series of disasters, "solidarity of pain and memory" through literature, and possibilities of literary condolence. How have the pain and memories of others left "after" a disaster been treated in our society? Why are disasters repeated in our society? A Lady Coming From Afar presents a "painful journey of memories" and "narrative of restoration" to search and find answers to these questions from very "far." "Narratives of restoration" through memories make the central group of narratives throughout the work and work as the most important dramatic device to request for "solidarity-sympathy for pain" and "public mourning" that the writer tries to realize ultimately. Plays help to share the same "pain spots" with the contemporary audience and induce sympathy and understanding for the life and pain of others. They help to realize in a sensible way that we are eventually connected to things that seem "far" and "involved" in the pain of others and thus form a "community of grief and pain." We can awaken the scars that are being forgotten without healing by sharing and reflecting on the grief that has not been mourned together, thus restoring "what is human" that we have lost. In this way, we can also continue (im)possible condolence. Bae creates and realizes such "places of life" in his A Lady Coming From Afar.
