Abstract

At first this article is trying to clarify why Park Wan-Seo's novel focus on Bab(means Food) and Jib(means House). 196, 70's is the period of reproduction of social ideaology and infrasructure after Korean war. And so experience of house wife has an impotance of positionality. They can easily know how to embody social politics in private sphere. Jib and Bab in Park Wan-Seo's novel represent such an house wife of positional impotance. The second point is trying to analysis on rewriting and autobiographical writing. Park Wan-Seo is writing about the same subject- war and the death of her elder brother- in four different novels. The four different novels are the Namok, Uhm-ma ui Malttook series, Geu Mahntun Shinga neun nooga dah mugutseulkka and Geu Sahn e jungmal guhghi itsut sulka series, Geu Namjane Jib. The characteristics of these novels are that the author's autobiographical aspects of war and her brother's death is shown by weaving through fiction and non-fiction. I am trying to clarify why she combined fiction and non-fiction, how Park Wan-Seo's narrative strategy effect to read of women reader. I think that women reader tend to read as an non-fiction because of schema about Park Wan-Seo's autobiographical writing. And so they tend to complete meaning gap between her rewriting novels. This process of rewriting and reading become a communication of women. I think this process is the reason why Park Wan-Seo's novel is popular.
