Son Bo-mi is a multiply awarded modern South Korean writer of fiction born in Seoul, South Korea.[1]
Life
Son was born in Seoul, South Korea. Son made her literary debut int 2009 with Silence and she is currently a university creative writing instructor.[1]
Work
Son is known for writing extremely emotional works (Blanket, Hot Air Balloon, and I'm Leaving Too, Liz) in very dry and calm sentences that paradoxically seem to reveal more feeling through their aridity than they would through overt emotionalism,.[1] Her stories often feature elaborate narrative structures that often leave out key ingredients related to the plot. This is partially because many of her works are interrelated and events that have happened in one book are often expected to be known about in the other books, even if they are only referred to most elliptically.
Her important works included Downpour, A Love of Scientist, Stroll, and Lindy Hop For Them. Downpour has been partially translated online, as it was one of her award winning works.[2]
