AB - Kim Yu-Jeong wrote 31 short stories during his illness. He sufferedfrom tuberculosis, pleurisy, hemorrhoids, depression, and anthropophobiafrom 1933 to 1937. He also had been a stammerer in youth. So in thissense, it is possible to regard his novels as a form of ‘sickbed literature’.
The main subject of Kim Yu-Jeong’s novels is the limitation and tragedyof a human being as a physical existence. In the novels, the complexityof Kim Yu-Jeong’s diseases are reflected very well. He uses humor as amethod of enduring the bad situations which may face a human being. Hiswriting style has been revealed to be very Korean. His novels contain imageryof the people of the lower classes and the landscapes of mountainvillages in Korea. He was a member of Group Gu-In. The members ofthis group were very close to the members of Group Mook-Il, which hadlooked for Korean style in modern fine arts. The efforts of the Koreanpainters to find ‘local colour’ in art in the mid-1930s may have been abig influence.
