Template:Contains Korean text Baik Sou Linne (born 1982) is a modern female South Korean author.[1]
Life
Author Baik Sou Linne was born in 1982 in Incheon, South Korea. Baik became an author after being selected in the Novel Field of the 2015 Kyunghyang Sinmun Annual Spring Literary Contest.[2] she majored in French at Yonsei. She went to Sogang University for graduate school still but still had the desire to write that she started to practice writing after graduating grad school.[3]
Work
Baik is highly praised by others such as critics including professor Kim Yun Shik (김윤식). Baik began writing novellas with Lying Practice ("거짓말 연습") and published a collection of short story novels in her book Falling in Paul ("폴링 인 폴"). She believes that she lacks as a writer because unlike many others who took all the steps to become a writer.[4]
Work
Baik's book Falling in Paul (폴링 인 폴) portrays how we take in other people's desperate love stories as something typical and the writer also wants her readers to realize this. Another thing Baik discusses in this story is the Romanization of his[who?] name of Paul which is Jun Chan, a name difficult for foreign people to pronounce. Baik's point is that the pronunciation of the name will always be different from how Paul says it and how Koreans do.[5] Baik's work often depends on identity.
The writer says that people see her writings as an art of traditional grammar and she wishes this writing style to get stronger in the future. She also wants to have her stories to be less packed in the future for she feels like there is too much words being said. Lastly, she hopes that her readers will understand her intentions and meaning behind her books.[6]
She is currently serializing a novel in the Hankyoreh newspaper.[7]
