Lee Yang-ji’s short stories “Yuhi” and “Nabi T’ary?ng” portray the agony and inner conflict of Zainichi (ethnic Koreans residing in Japan) who find themselves considered strangers both in Korea and Japan. \u003cbr\u003e\n“Yuhi” features the eponymous protagonist going to Korea in search of her roots as does Aiko, the main character of “Nabi T’ary?ng.” Both women grow frustrated after realizing that they are considered marginal persons who can be neither Korean nor Japanese. \u003cbr\u003e\nThe two works vividly show traces of the writer’s agonizing search for her identity and feelings of ambivalence as a second-generation Zainichi. Through these autobiographical stories, she uses her personal problems to brilliantly explore the realm of ethnic identity and language. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIncluded Works\u003cbr\u003e\nNabi T’ary?ng (Nabi taryon, 1982)\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Diver (Kazukime, 1983)\u003cbr\u003e\nMy Brother, Gone Before Me (Anigoze, 1983)\u003cbr\u003e\nYuhi (Yuhi, 1988)","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48994504474876,"sku":"9781624121517","price":22.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4681\/9068\/files\/9781624121517.jpg?v=1776433957","url":"https:\/\/bookstore12.com\/products\/book-9781624121517","provider":"Bookstore 12","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
