Hwang sun won biography of william hudson

It begins at a late stage in the conflict and ends in Seoul as the characters adapt to civilian life after the ceasefire. Hwang Sun-won is one of modern Korea's masters of narrative prose. Trees on a Slope is his most accomplished novel--one of the few Korean novels to describe in detail the physical and psychological horrors of the Korean War.

It is an assured, forceful depiction of three young soldiers in the South Korean army during the latter stages of the war. Woven from poems, prose, photographs, and drawings, Don Mee Choi's DMZ Colony is a tour de force of personal and political reckoning set over eight acts. Evincing the power of translation as a poetic device to navigate historical and linguistic borders, it explores Edward Said's notion of "the intertwined and overlapping histories" in regards to South Korea and the United States through innovative deployments of voice, story, and poetics.

Like its sister book, Hardly War, it holds history accountable, its very presence a resistance to empire and a hope in humankind.
