Acknowledgments
This project for the English translation of Kang-baek Lee was made possible by a translation grant from the Korean Literature Translation Institute. The translators would like to express deep-felt gratitude for Dr. Paul Richardson, editor at Cambria Press, for publishing this work and also for his faith in the value of this work and his unbelievable patience. Special thanks go to Dr. Richard Nichols for his meticulously thorough and helpful reading of the first manuscript of the translation and also for writing the foreword. The translators are also indebted to him for his constant support and encouragement.
Hyung-jin Lee would like to thank Dr. Hyesun Ko at Dankook University who introduced the translator to Mr. Kang-baek Lee for the first time where it all began. Also, the translator expresses his deepest gratitude to his parents for their loving support. A very special appreciation is due to his wife Young and his son Chris for giving him their utmost love and understanding throughout. Alyssa Kim would like to express her gratitude to her parents and her husband for their love and encouragement.
Finally, the translators would like to acknowledge how indebted they are to Mr. Kang-baek Lee, for without his artistic gifts and contribution to Korean theater and literature, this volume would have been impossible.
