Yi Sang

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yi Sang (September 14, 1910 - April 17, 1937) is considered one of the most innovative writers in modern Korean literature. Crossing and blurring the boundaries between poetry, fiction and essay, his experiments in literary form and language, as well the psychological complexity of his inquiry into passion, eroticism and the indeterminate nature of self were unprecedented in Korean literary practices of his time. Though most widely known by his pen name, Yi Sang was born in Seoul, Korea, as Kim Hae-gyeong. Most of his works were produced during the 1930s, during the Japanese Colonial Period. He was trained as an architect and for a time was employed as a draftsman in the public works department of the colonial Japanese administration. Reflecting his architectural background, his writing, particularly poetry, consciously employed diagrams and numbers to push the conventional boundaries of linguistic expression.
