Editor's Note:
本书共收录了李沧东的小说处女作《战利品》及其他短篇小说共十一篇。这些作品都是以城市边缘人和小人物为关注点,聚焦于两类题材,一类是朝鲜战争及南北分裂、光州事件等社会现实所造成的伤痛,一类是韩国社会工业化发展进程中的社会问题。他的小说不以大事件为线索,而往往围绕着生活的细节,如两代人之间的鸿沟、夫妻之间或婆媳之间的家庭矛盾、大巴车上的风波等等,他拙朴的笔触下隐藏的是这些细小的事件背后巨大的悲剧感。他的作品有一种逼真的写实感,如同他的电影那样深刻地刻画人与人之间的关系,寻找被生活隐藏的真实。无论是电影叙事,还是小说叙事,李沧东手中都握着一把极为锐利的手术刀,他深层剖开韩国现代社会中普通人的生存困境,将其经受的历史创伤、人性的残酷、个体命运遭受侵害等问题连根拔起。在这部小说集里,他不止是人文主义的电影导演,还是一位心怀悲悯的作家。
