Salmon
This fairy tale is about a salmon
with silver light on its back
that is quite different from others
with dark blue light on the back.
The salmon lost its sister, fell
in love with a female salmon of
clear eyes and was grown up to
be adult by going upstream on
the way to its birthplace. You
can get realized such philosophy;
“Existence can be just the reason
for our lives.”
This book is a fairytale-like
novel and novel-like fairytale
as well. It makes people, living
in this harsh place, meet with
the humble scenery of life with
purified expressions. |

Jja
Jang Myun
I will never write down 'Jja Jang
Myun' as 'Ja Jang Myun'. That
is because of adults. Older people
often force children to express
'Ja Jang Myun' because 'Ja Jang
Myun' is not correct according
to the rules of the spelling.
However, there is no such place,
which sells 'Ja Jang Myun'. All
the restaurants have 'Ja Jang
Myun' on their menu. So, I believe
that there will come a day when
those adults buy 'Ja Jang Myun'
to their children, not 'Ja Jang
Myun' after they learn from our
children someday. |

Saint-Ezupery, and Milan Kundera,

Chun, Sang-Byung, Chung, Ho-Seung,
Lee, Sung-Bok, Hwang, Ji-Woo,
Park, Wan-Seo, Shin, Kyung-Sook,
and Eun, Hee-Kyung have expressed
the love?
This book is the analysis done
through the eyes of poet from
a different point of view on selected
writings on love. The author is
exposing the proverbs of love
that were hidden in the poems,
novels, pop music and even the
traditional music. Most of them
are based on the poets' emotion,
but there are a few odd writings
that are like the sharp wind cutting
through your clothing.
In other words, this book is the
methods of love from 100 great
writers of all time and places.
If one starts reading this, a
prose becomes a song, a song becomes
a poem, and a poem becomes a prayer.
They are like the confession of
love.
The joy of peeking at the sentences
that the poet personally enjoyed
and the songs that he hummed,
and the joy of tasting short and
lucid proverbs from the poet will
be given to the readers.

Butterfly
This book starts with the
introduction of Muhammad Ali,
who said, "Fly like a Butterfly,
Sting like a Bee." That is
because the nickname of the main
character in this novel is Ali.
The background of the novel is
the 1960s when the dispatching
the troops to Vietnam was the
hot issue among the public, and
this novel takes its place at
small village where about 2000
people live. The hero, Ali, and
Narrator, I are the close friends
in 4th grade, and we go everywhere
together. However, while I was
smart and good kid, Ali was not
a bright kid, and sometimes called,
'Babo (Korean insult for not so
bright people)'. This is the growth
novel where the kid, who is thought
to be smart by adults, learns
and meets with the world through
the eyes of Ali, who is called
'Babo' by adults. It contains
the unique quality of Ahn Do-Hyun
who pioneered the special genre,
which combines the philosophy
and the story together with the
name of 'Tales for adults.' Always
getting beaten by drunk father
with a whip, a boy who was a lot
smaller than his friend, hobbled,
and the process of this 12 years
old, 'Babo' boy becomes the butterfly
by growing a wing out of his mind
is portrayed in this novel with
the author's vivid imagination.
The author lets readers to fly
towards the sky of childhood by
making the symbolism of butterfly
as the engine for it. A close
friend in the elementary school,
familiar views of small village,
a veteran who was hurt at the
Vietnam War, first love, Noodle
factory, American soldiers' C-ration,
black and white TV that all villagers
shared, Anti-Communist speech
tournament, all these materials
of the novel will add more enjoyment
to reading this book. |
