Five Preludes & A Fugue

English

By (author): Cheon Heerahn

Translated by: Emily Yae Won

A young woman delves into the circumstances of her mothers death ahead of her own marriage, interrogating a woman who witnessed her mothers death and would later come to play a crucial role in her life. An exploration of the human (in)capacity for (self-)deception and knowledge, the story offers a nuanced portrait of contemporary (Korean) social mores. As with all Cheons work to date this beautifully crafted story places women at its core, and explores form and genre (in this case epistolatory) while subtly weaving into the text a deep interrogation of social issues.
