Overview

A moving recreation of an essay by Kwon Jung-saeng, a representative writer in South Korean children’s literature.

Book Intro

The Autumn of that year, an essay by writer Kwon Jung-saeng, a shining star in South Korean children’s literature, has been recreated as a picture book. Children’s story writer Yoo Eun-sil, recipient of the 6th Kwon Jeongsaeng Fund for Writers, has rewritten the text for a picture book while retaining the emotive power of the original work. Painter Kim Jae-hong has done the illustrations. The account of the young Kwon Jeong-saeng, living in a vestibule of a church, encountering Changseop, a child with disabilities, unfolds like a sad yet beautiful fairy tale. Starting in February 1968, Kwon lived in the vestibule of a small Church. While struggling with poverty-related illness, he took care of the management of the church as a deacon, spent time with youngsters as a Sunday school teacher, and penned stories for children. In the autumn of 1971, a child started to visit the young Kwon’s vestibule, sometimes several times in a single day. This was Changseop, a 16-year-old with physical and intellectual disabilities. With his own illness, the young Kwon feels compassion and sympathy for Changseop, his occasional visitor, and comes to form a friendship with the boy. This book reflects moments from the young writer’s encounter with the child one drizzly autumn day up until the boy’s untimely decease.
