Yun Heunggil's Novels and Trauma Healing : Based on the Novel of Division
This paper begins with the premise that novelist Yun Heunggil is using novels to heal the trauma of the Korean War. The writer, who has shared the multi-period flow of modern Korean history and the trajectory of his life, writes novels based on historical experiences that he has accepted directly or indirectly. Through his written works, we will focus on healing with the wounds turbulent times have left in our community. The war left Yun Heunggil with wounds of poverty and hardship, as well as death and loss. However, the writer does not turn his back on or hide the sadness, anger, guilt and loss of time. Rather, he writes novels such as “Sheep” and “The Rainy Season” and opens them up in the face of trauma, moving toward healing. In other words, writing a novel itself can be seen as a healing process for him. In addition, we try to heal the wounds shared by our community through novel works, and we can cite Sickle as a representative work. The writer does not simply list historical wounds or misjudge the victim and the perpetratorpl; he rather provides an opportunity to think about how to heal the wounds our community is still facing. At the heart of this is: reconciliation. Yun Heunggil's novel is a record of the wound healing process and a prescription record for trauma healing in our community. This sentence focused on capturing and introducing themthe.
