Excerpt: Ahn Jung-hyo Ahn Jung-hyo (born December 2, 1941) is a South Korean novelist and literary translator. Ahn was born in Seoul, where he graduated from Sogang University with a BA in English literature in 1965. He worked as an English-language writer for the Korea Herald in 1964, and later served as a director for the Korea Times in 1975-1976. He was Editorial Director for the Korean Division of Encyclopaedia Britannica from 1971 to 1974. Ahn made his debut as a translator in 1975, when he published a Korean translation of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez . From that time until the late 1980s, he translated approximately 150 foreign works into Korean. Ahn's first novel was Of War and the Metropolis, now known as White War (), which was published in 1983 to a chilly critical reception. Ahn translated it into English and had it published in the United States, where it was released by Soho Publishing in 1989 under the title The White Badge . The book was then reissued in Korea as White War in 1993, and was received much more favorably than before. Ahn received the Kim Yoo-jung Literary Award in 1992.
