For example, Ha il-ji`s 「Roote to the Racertrack」 and Kim Su-Kyung`s 「Liberty Bell」 are two representive novels which raised controversy on post-modern novels as well as the public popularity in Korea. The world view such post-modern novels represent is summed up as nihilistic: disillusionment and despair about life. In post-modern novels, there is no healing vision while it often depicts discredit about human being and the world. The main problem in the post-modern novels from christian perspective is its human-oriented world view: representation of decadents denying the existence of God, moreover ascription of the source of despair to the "incomplete" world. In this atmosphere, we, Christian should be alart about the trend which misinterprets such anti-Christian world view in post-modern novels as if the most progressive thought in contemporary literature. |
