Prologue

 

A tree has many scars
The closer a tree is to a village,
The more scars it has.

My body is quite undamaged.

 

 

-from A Bug’s Home Is Cozy (Munhagdongne, 1994)

 

서시

 

마을이 가까울수록
나무는 흠집이 많다.

내 몸이 너무 성하다.

 

 

『벌레의 집은 아늑하다』1994 문학동네

 

 

Translated by Clara Soonhee Kwon-Tatum Ph.D
