미국 언론에 보도된 "Flutter, Flutter, Butterfly"

미국 주류언론에 2017년 11월 14일에 "Flutter, Flutter, Butterfly"가 발간되었다는 기사가 뜬걸 이제야 발견했다. 기사제목이캘리포니아 팔로알토에 살고있는 저가가 발간한 역사소설이다. 하지만 이 작품의 원저작자 은미희(Mihee Eun) 소설가는 한국 수원에 살고있다. 이 보도자료를 돌린 출판사 직원에게 항의했더니 저자가 미국에 있는게 언론에 배척을 덜 받는다고 내가 살고있는 팔로알토를 사용했다고 한다. 아무튼  Eyewitness News, ABC, Newscenter, NBC, RFD TV, KMOV, KITV, FOX News 등 무려 9곳이나 다음과 같은 내용으로 올려져 있다.

Flutter, Flutter, Butterfly, a new book by Mihee Eun, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

.

In the world, there are many uncomfortable truths. Truths that are covered up and hidden in hopes that they will fade and be forgotten. As a result of our shame, lies are told and false histories are taught to our children. But we perpetuate the problem when we fail to admit our truths. No matter how ugly or shameful they are, we must remember in order to learn from past mistakes. Otherwise, history will only repeat itself.

.

In this story we see an example of an uncomfortable truth. An innocent girl, at the young age of 15, is forced into sex slavery by the Japanese Army in 1943. Through no fault of her own, her life is disrupted by the many horrors that ensue. Simply because she had been born at a time when Korea was found to be weaker than Japan, the young girl is forced into seclusion, suffering constant pain and abuse from the authorities who took her. But Soonboon’s story is not the only one. Tens of thousands of women still haven’t told their stories, let alone received any consolation or reprieve. These women, their hairs gray, still suffer and protest, saying: “We want an apology! A sincere apology!” For many, the apology did not come soon enough.
