immigrated to California via Hawaii in 1907, settling in Riverside and working as a laborer for most of his life. Until his passing in 1953, Thun privately wrote epic fiction and short stories in his native tongue, leaving behind a literary state that is today
a precious discovery for both Korean and Korean American literary historians. The Thun Archive became part of the collections of USC's East Asian Library in 2004. Comprised of three long novels, six short stories, and six essays, the Archive is of intrinsic
literary interest and also offers an unprecedented window into the experience of Korean immigrants in Southern California at the beginning of the 20th century.</span><br>
