Toni Morrison’s Beloved and Sok-yong Hwang’s The Guest mainly deal with the consoling of vindictive ghosts. Hwang’s The Guest(New York, Seven Stories Press) was translated into English by Kyung-ja Chun and Maya West in 2005 and got several positive reviews from prestigious journals including The Nation. Both writers have been influenced by the magical realism of Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Morrison and Hwang introduce a revised magical realism and new types of ghosts in their novels. The ghosts in these novels play a major role in rehabilitating the repressed history and the concealed trauma of a diverse cast of characters, and in making other traumatized people overcome their divided selves. In a sense, these ghosts are both healers and destroyers. As healers, they give comfort and vitality to the characters, and, as destroyers they first open the wound and then lead readers and characters to investigate it and finally suture it. The ghosts in these novels stubbornly resist going to the world beyond. They think that they have to be in harmony with their beloved people and that they have to receive the proper respect and mourning. They have to tell their untold stories before they go to the world beyond. By allowing the ghosts to speak freely, Morrison and Hwang intersect multi-layered narratives to right/write the twisted truth and history. Morrison and Hwang emphasize the roles of mediators in these novels. In Beloved, Baby Suggs, Denver, Ella, and Paul D are mediators, who, like exorcists or shamans, maintain order and seek the wisdom of survival. Likewise, Uncle Somae, Yohan Ryu’s wife, and Yosop Ryu in The Guest take the role of mediators who soothe the traumatized ghosts and provide people who are living in this life with various ways and methods to cope with present difficulties.
