β¦ Synopsis
Touted as one of Koreaβs most important works of fiction, Three Generations (published in 1931 as a serial in Chosun Ilbo) charts the tensions in the Jo family in 1930s Japanese occupied Seoul. Yomβs keenly observant eye reveals family tensions withprofound insight. Delving deeply into each characterβs history and beliefs, he illuminates the diverse pressures and impulses driving each. This Korean classic, often compared to Junichiro Tanizakiβs The Makioka Sisters, reveals the countryβs situation under Japanese rule, the traditional Korean familial structure, and the battle between the modern and the traditional. The long-awaited publication of this masterpiece is a vital addition to Korean literature in English.
