Translated from the Korean

Summary: A "song man" blinds his daughter to keep her from following her half-brother, who ran away due to the art's rigorous training. The girl forgives her father before his death, and through this act, she deepens her insight into the nature of human existence, and, as her father had insisted would happen, elevates the art of her p'ansori singing

内容説明・目次

内容説明

Yi Chung-jun's haunting and disturbing novel Seopyeonje is set in the 1950s after the Korean War in the remote south of the country, home of the traditional art of pansori singing, a moving and plangently beautiful style of folk song performed by travelling musicians. This haunting novel explores themes such as forgiveness, the redemptive power of art and modern man's loss of innocence and alienation from traditional values. A magic-realist gem, the novel employs epic, myth and fantasy to create a fusion of the real and the fantastic.
