Timeline

1953

Choe Hyeon-mu (born 1953), better known by her pen name Choe Yun, is a South Korean writer, translator, and professor of French literature.

Choe was born in Seoul in 1953.

1978

She received her Ph.D. from Sogang University, graduating in 1978 and travelling to France, where she received the doctorate de 3ème Cycle de l'Université de Provence D.E.A. in Aix-en-Provence and Marseilles.

She made her literary debut at the relatively late age of 40, with the publication of the short story collection There a Petal Silently Falls.

After her debut, however, Choe was quickly recognized as one of the most important authors in modern South Korea.

Choe is married to fellow literary translator Patrick Maurus.

1980

Choe Yun's writing merges the psychological impact of political/historical events, including the Gwangju Massacre (1980) and the dictatorship of Park Chung-hee (1961–1979), with fictional techniques.

Choe's works are varied, but typically founded in particular political contexts.

The Gray Snowman is told by a young woman on the edges of the 1980s’ dissident movement, and Father’s Surveillance and A Voiceless Window show the pain of families split by the Korean War and the sundering of the nation.

Choe, however, keeps her lens firmly fixed on the interior lives of her characters, even as they are stuck in the larger web of history.

Choe's narrative style, following the twisted inner world of her characters, is often non-realist.

Choe frequently uses memory as one of her themes.

1988

Many of her works, including There a Petal Silently Falls (1988), Grey Snowman (1991), and Whisper, Whisper (1993), are semi-autobiographical depictions of the events surrounding the Gwangju Uprising.

1994

Her work The Last of Hanako (1994) won the Yi Sang Literary Award.

Choe's work typically addresses the psychological damage created in post-World War II (and particularly post-Korean War) Korea.

Choe is notable as one of the first novelists to focus on the impact gender roles have had in modern Korean literature.
