Timeline

1930

To be sure, Borgesian influence is still unmistakable, but only in the background: the novel, as a whole, is animated by the author's own meticulous and in-depth study of Yi Sang, the Korean existentialist writer of the 1930s who produced some of the most exotic and complex stories in Korean literary history.

Goodbye, Yi Sang is concerned with the question of truth and of existence as well as the very definition of literature which, in Kim's view, are not mutually exclusive.

“The reason why I write,” the author has said,” is to find out whether the truth does indeed exist in the act of writing." ”

When I Was Still A Child, which first appeared in serial form, is a collection of stories based on his childhood and adolescence.

Although it was written with considerable ease and employs much lighter tone of voice than Goodbye, Yi Sang, the stories in this collection provide yet another venue for exploring the nature of truth, which has always remained the focus of Kim's interest.

As a young author, Kim's works are just now being translated.

To this date, only one short essay (New York Bakery) and several short stories referenced below have been translated into English.

Rather, more of his works are translated into Japanese, French, and Russian.

World’s End Girlfriend, Wonder Boy, The Country of the Blind, and other short stories are published in Japanese.

So You Love Me, Seonnyeong (Sarang-irani, Seonnyeong-a), If the Waves Belong to the Sea, and I am a Ghost Writer are translated into French.

World’s End Girlfriend and Wonder Boy are also published in Russian, I am a Ghost Writer is published in German, and again, World's End Girlfriend in Chinese.
