FROM THE KOREAN PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
The contradictory reality derived from the experience of abortion and
A social autobiography that exposes hidden truths
The experiences of all silenced women
The pinnacle of ‘Ani Erno literature’ placed in history
A writer with keen insight and courage who delves into the roots, alienation, and collective oppression embedded in individual memories. ─Reasons for selecting the Nobel Prize in Literature
No, Erno's 『The Incident』 is a destructively clear, thoroughly controlled and accurate writing that clearly shows the author's painful experiences and social stigma intertwined with class, power, and patriarchy. ─《Guardian》
『The Incident』, a representative work that decisively demonstrates the unrivaled world of works of Ani Ernault, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Literature, and the author's unique writing that persistently delves into the layers of life imprinted on the body and memory through social scientific methodology, and the original work of the film 「Revennement」, which won the Golden Lion Award at the 78th Venice International Film Festival, was published as the 494th volume of the Minumsa World Literature Collection. This edition of the complete collection of world literature, which completely revised the previous ‘Ssonsal Paperback’ edition and carefully added ‘work commentary’ and ‘author chronology’ as well as detailed footnotes to aid readers’ understanding, will provide an opportunity to get one step closer to Erno’s literature.
As the main character, the narrator, waits for the results of a venereal disease test, he is suddenly swept into a moment of despair in October 1963, a time when he had desperately hoped for “my period to start” all week long. After having an affair with a male student, the protagonist realizes that she is pregnant. In desperation, she asks for help from friends who support free love and are sensitive to women's rights, but even they show signs of displeasure, branding 'abortion of pregnancy' as an exceptional deviation. In the end, the main character, obsessed with the fear of falling status and academic failure implied by ‘pregnancy’ and ‘abortion’, chooses a final method that no one, not even the system, protects.
