Park Cheong-ho

Park Cheong-ho (Korean: 박청호; born 1966) is a South Korean writer. In 1990, he became known as a “new generation author” and his works received attention for their freedom of form and distinct prose. Though he began his career writing both poetry and prose, he gradually came to focus solely on novels. The unique stylistic aspects of his writing include devices such as the enumeration of imagery, wordplay, and abrupt switches between scenes. In terms of subject matter and themes, he has constructed a literary world imbued with his individuality through the depiction of apathy and disinterest in public order, authority, and traditions, all while in search of a new set of moral and ethical values.[1]
