[DeepL Translation - needs review] "The Idiot and the Idiot is Lee's unique intellectual reflection on Korean society and individual existence. Through this work, Lee vividly depicts the conflict between social issues and individual existence represented by the Korean War. Furthermore, through the writing process of "Brother," Lee shows his consciousness of the nature of fiction. For him, the novel was part of a plan to explore individual existence and ethics.
