Who is Park Sang-ryung?

Park Sang-ryung is a South Korean novelist and short story writer. His most famous work is A Study of Death, a novel which describes forty days leading to the death of an unnamed monk. He refers to his work as "Japsseul" or a talk on everything because his writings all form a large metaphysical musing on the nature of humanity, transcendence, and death. He has a reputation for being a difficult writer not only because of his exhaustive range of symbolism and allusion, but also because of his complex, experimental style. As of 2012, he has published five novels, three short story collections, and one essay collection.
