This first and only study of North Korean literary history by a
Western scholar deals with the crucial role played by Han Sōrya,
chairman of the D.P.R.K.'s Federation of Literature and Art from
1948 to his purge in 1962, both in devising the iconography of Kim
Il Sung's personality cult and in defining the early course of
North Korean letters. Through brief studies of Han's own canonical
works the author also sets out to dispel the widely-held assumption
that North Korean literature is compatible with Soviet and Chinese
socialist realism. The appendix includes a complete translation of
Han's 1951 novella Jackals (Sungnyangi).
