Cathartic homecoming in Yun Hŭnggil’s Novel Sequence The Road to Soradan. This paper deals with the contemporary South Korean novelist Yun Hŭnggil
(b.1942)’s novel sequence The Road to Soradan,
and discusses the implications of the adult
narrators’ act of homecoming by focusing on the importance of war memory
recollections, and on the idea of catharsis in relation to a spatial dimension
– the hometown. The cathartic connotation of homecoming and the emotional
effects those hometown places are charged with come into view as the adult
narrators re-access their hometown, recollect their past and thus reconnect
with its memories and with their own selves.
Key words: homecoming, catharsis, traumatic
narrative, division narrative, Yun Hŭnggil
