◆The Chinese version of the poetry collection of Han Jiang, a hot candidate for the Nobel Prize in Literature and the first Asian winner of the Man Booker International Prize, is introduced for the first time!
I spent twenty years writing a collection of poems, in this way re-examining the relationship between language and reality.
Every language, every sentence, contains beauty and baseness, purity and filth, truth and lies. —Han Jiang ◆ Returning to the Origins of Literature, the Only Poetry Collection of Her Career Han Jiang's literary debut came with poems published in Literature and Society in 1993. She once said, "My writing began with poetry. My novels and poetry have a lot of overlap. Writing poetry allows me to enter the emotions."
After 20 years as a novelist, Han Jiang returned to her literary roots and published her only collection of poetry, "Put Dinner in the Drawer."
Han Jiang, a writer known for her unique style and gentleness, has been writing poetry throughout her career. Her poetry is intensely emotional and full of sensual imagery, a reflection of her novels.
◆ Exquisite binding, a dream collaboration. Renowned Korean translator Noh Hong-jin-gyo perfectly translates the poetry of Fa-jeong and Ko Eun, and the collection is retranslated by stunning illustrator Chen Yun-ran. Designer Yamakawa Seimoto, winner of the Blade Literary Award and One Way Street Literary Award, designed the entire book. Drawers contain books, and books are embedded in drawers, creating an infinitely stacked design with endless surprises in the details. Deep sea night, a bloody language growing in silence, through light, touches the path of a wounded soul. "Putting Dinner in the Drawer" collects 60 poems written by Han Kang over the past 20 years since his debut. Transparent nights, dark trees, a burning wheelchair, winter on the other side of the mirror. In "Putting Dinner in the Drawer," Han Kang reexamines the subtle emotions of everyday life, using a bleeding language drawn from the darkness to depict the loneliness and sorrow of life. She gazes eagerly into the human soul, seeking to find the shining truth within a world of silence and darkness.
Han Jiang's poetry has been a constant throughout her writing career. Her poetry is characterized by intense emotions and sensual imagery, which is consistent with her novels.
