고바야시 마사루(小林勝)의 1차 수감 경험과 작가 활동에 미친 영향

Abstract

This paper specifically examines the experience of primary imprisonment and its impact, which was a decisive opportunity for Masaru Kobayashi to be born as a writer. As a research method, we first look at the narrative patterns of previous studies referring to the "fire disease incident," and then look at the situation that was not highlighted in previous studies, focusing on the literary magazine "People's Literature" (1953.1), which records the urgent situation of Kobayashi's first imprisonment, and the essay "My Creative Pain" (1954.8). Finally, we collect a list of articles that recorded the experience of the "Fire Disease Incident" and examine how the experience of imprisonment was literaryly embodied, focusing on the short story "In The Prison" (1957.10), which describes Kobayashi's first imprisonment experience in many detail. Kobayashi experienced judicial violence and absurdity in closed spaces, including himself, in the police detention center, and held a pencil to expose it. Even after his release, he constantly tried to reach the center without staying on the surface and thinking about the harsh reality and causes imposed on many people, including him, and sent it to literature. Much of My Creative Pain was similarly literaryized in Prison, and through this, it can be seen that he wanted to face contradictions in modern society, such as judicial violence and absurdity, more than anyone else.
