Introduction
This collection comprises ten stories by Pak Wanso*, one of Korea's most respected and widely read contemporary writers. The author belongs to the generation born in the 1930s when the Korean people suffered under the heel of Japanese colonial rule. She was born in 1931 near Kaesong*, just north of the 38th parallel, which has divided the two Koreas since 1945. In 1934 her father died and her widowed mother moved to Seoul with her older brother, leaving her in the care of grandparents and an uncle for four years. From 1938 to 1945 she attended schools in Seoul. As a teenager she was directly affected by the tragic division of Korea: her family relocated permanently to Seoul, unable to return to their home in the Communist north.
As a young woman the author survived the savagery and pandemonium of the Korean War. Just weeks before the war broke out on June 25, 1950, Pak was admitted to the nation's best college, Seoul National University, an indication of great intellectual potential that was to be borne out by her career as a writer, which began almost twenty years later. The war not only interrupted her education, but took the lives of her older brother and uncle, forcing Pak to work to support her family. During the war, she took a job in the U.S. Eighth Army PX, and her experiences during this period were to resurface decades later in several short stories. In 1953 she married Ho Yongjin*, and the marriage lasted thirty-five years, until her husband's death in 1988.
From the late 1950s and into the present, Korea has undergone rapid and far-reaching social and economic change. The people of Korea have endured repressive military dictatorship and chronic political instability as they struggled to overcome poverty. Pak Wanso's* realistic prose holds up a mirror to the lives of ordinary Koreans in the course of their "industrial revolution," an era of merciless dislocation and
