This article took up “Talkative dog” of Gen Getsu and considered it about topos in the novel of Gen Getsu. He is the second-generation residents of the Jeju island-born parents. There is it at the position of the border in both generations at the same time as the pipe which can tie 1 generation and 3 generations plays a role because he is almost him in terms of age. It is the point where a similar place is repeated as space of the novels that I want to pay attention to in the literature of Gen Getsu. The place reminds of Ikaino located in the Osaka-shi eastern part. As Ikaino is space representing the historic reality that a Korean living in Japan lives for in a colony suzerain, there is the novel work which assumes Ikaino the stage as well as Gen Getsu a lot. However, as for Chingoro village in “Talkative dog”, it is it with strong space of the symbolism which is different from the real life space even if it will become clear through consideration. I analyzed discrimination structure of the multilayer in the village. And I analyzed the thing which a myth of a village and a well in an open space meant.　It becomes clear that “Talkative dog” can read as a Saga of Jeju people living in Japan by this.
