Early years


Born on November 13, 1946 in Inje, Gangwan-do, Han Soosan graduated from Chuncheon High School and initially went to college at the Chuncheon College of Education in 1965, from which he transferred to Kyunghee University, where he graduated with a degree in Korean Literature.[2] A key moment in Han's life was in 1981 when he contributed to a serialized novel that satirized then Korean president Chun Doo-hwan. Han, as well as other newspaper workers, was rounded up and tortured by the government. In 1998, he moved to Japan for four years, where he wrote several stories about Korean residents of Japan.[2] Han teaches Korean Literature at Sejong University.


Work


Han Soosan is known in Korea for his delicate and expressive writing style.[3] Han made his debut as a poet and began publishing works of fiction in the early 1970s.[4] In 1972 his short story "The End of April" won the Dong-a Daily literary contest. He also won the Korea Daily prize in 1973 for his novel "A Morning in the Season of Reconciliation," and in 1977 won the "Today's Writer Prize" for his work "Floating Weeds."[3] In 1984 he won the Nogwon Literature Prize and in 1991 the Contemporary Literature Prize.[2] Han calls his novel Raven his "life's work."[5] It is a multi-volume epic following the lives of Korean men conscripted by the Japanese during the colonial era. It has not been translated into English.
