Bae Su-ah is a South Korean author who was born in 1965. Originally a government employee at Gimpo Airport in Incheon, Bae wrote stories as a hobby.[1] After beginning writing, she left her job and became one of the most unconventional writers in Korea.
Bae Su-ah graduated from Ewha Womans [sic] University with a degree in Chemistry. She made her debut as a writer with A Dark Room in 1988. Since then, she has published two anthologies of short fiction including Interstate With Green Apple. She has also published novels including Rhapsody in Blue.[2] Her work is has always been unconventional in the extreme, including such unusual topics as men becoming victims of domestic violence by their female spouses (in Bae Su-ah’s “Sunday Sukiyaki Restaurant”).[3]
Since 2001, Bae has lived in Germany, where she continues to write her outsider fiction, characterized by tense-shifting and alterations in perspective. Her most recent works are nearly a-fictional, decrying characterization and plot.[4]
