Intro: “Mr. In-hoon Choi, a major novelist in Korea of today, is an intellectual writer who represents the immediate generation following the liberation of Korea from the Japanese rule [in 1945]… The Daily Life of the Novelist Ku-poh… presents a portrait of a conscientious novelist who is living a solitary life in South Korea to which he came down from North Korea, coping wtih the hardships of life involved in the division of his country. The portrait of the novelist Ku-poh is, interestingly enough, designed to represent the portrait of the typical intellect in South Korea who has no choice but to be inflicted by the problems coming from the division of his nation.

According to the novelist Ku-poh, protagonist of the novel, the past twenty-five years after the liberation of Korea from Japan may be called the most troublesome period that the Koreans have experienced in their history…. Unable to take part in the governing forces of the society, the novelist Ku-poh led a monotonous life, repetitious and dull, but to reflect upon the realities of society as well as upon the alienation of the true and conscientious intellects from the dynamics of their national life.”
