Bae Su-ah is a South Korean author who was born in 1965. Originally a government employee at Gimpo Airport in Incheon, Bae wrote stories as a hobby. After beginning writing, she left her job and became one of the most unconventional writers in Korea.

Bae Su-ah graduated from Ewha Womans [sic] University with a degree in Chemistry. She made her debut as a writer with A Dark Room in 1988. Since then, she has published two anthologies of short fiction including Interstate With Green Apple. She has also published  novels including Rhapsody in Blue. Her work is has always been unconventional in the extreme, including such unusual topics as men becoming victims of domestic violence by their female spouses (in Bae Su-ah’s “Sunday Sukiyaki Restaurant”).

Since 2001, Bae has lived in Germany, where she continues to write her outsider fiction, characterized by tense-shifting and alterations in perspective. Her most recent works are nearly a-fictional, decrying characterization and plot.
