Lee Sumyeong Surreal-Absurd Sampler

This week at Mercurius it is Lee Sumyeong. Translated by Colin Leemarshall.

“In his 1924 Surrealist Manifesto, Andre Breton wrote that “Swift is Surrealist in malice, / Sade is Surrealist in sadism. / Chateaubriand is Surrealist in exoticism.” Lee Sumyeong might be described as being surrealist in the quotidian.” – Colin Leemarshall
