Über Autor(innen)

O Chonghui (b. 1947) burst onto the Korean literary scene with her story "The Toyshop Woman" (Wangujom yoin), which in 1968 won an annual new writers' competition sponsored by the Chungang ilbo, a Seoul daily. She has since published four dozen short stories and novellas. Among her story collections are The Garden of My Childhood and Spirit on the Wind, which contain the critically acclaimed stories "Evening Game" (Chonyok ui keim), "Chinatown" (Chunggugin kori), "Words of Farewell" (Pyolsa), "The Bronze Mirror" (Tonggyong), and "Wayfarer" (Sullyeja ui norae).

Bruce and Ju-Chan Fulton are translators of numerous volumes of modern Korean fiction. They have received several awards and fellowships, including a National Endowment for the Arts Translation Fellowship (the first ever awarded for a translation from the Korean) and a residency with author Ch'oe Yun at the Banff International Literary Translation Centre (the first ever awarded for a translation from any Asian language).
