Park Hyoung-su
Park Hyoung-su (born August 11, 1972) is a male South Korean writer of fiction born in Chuncheon, Gangwan-do, South Korea.[1] His short story Krabi, named after the Thai district, has been published in a bilingual edition in France. LifePark was born in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do in 1972 and graduated from Korea University graduate school, with a Ph.D. in 2010 from Korea University Graduate School with a Masters in 2003, and from Hanyang University, a Bachelor of Korean literature in 1999.[1] Park made his literary debut in 2000 through the Hyundae Munhak. He currently teaches creative writing at Korea University. WorkPark is an unusual novelist for a Korean, often placing his works outside of Korea, or finding their genesis outside of Korea.[2] and Korean critics have had a difficult time pigeonholing him, various describing him as a "storyteller", "metamorphic", and "self-aware", among other terms. LIST Magazine has summarized Park's role as a modern novelist: "The novel as a modern invention is what many young Korean writers are pondering as they attempt to redefine the landscape of modern Korean literature. Out of these writers, Park Hyoung-su stands out for the perception, intelligence, and playful imagination so evident in his work.[3] At the moment, his only work translated into English is Arpan (ASIA Publishers)) which has been well reviewed at www.ktlit.com as "another shock to a habitual reader of Korean literature in translation as it treads overseas as well as into cultural relativism, and the position of plagiarism/copying in Korea.".[4] Awards
