Kim Sok-pom has devoted his writing career to raising awareness of the Jeju April 3 Incident through literature. Death of a Crow (1957) marked the beginning of his campaign; known as one of his major works, it is also the one that first earned him recognition. By writing about the uprising, he delved into history and the problems of humanity. Chronicling a variety of lives linked to the event was also his way of gaining understanding of this world.

Bak-seobang, Jailer, Death of a Crow, and Gwandeokjeong are a series of closely intertwined works in this book that depict Jeju amid the massacre that lasted for about a year starting from summer 1948; Death of a Crow and Gwandeokjeong also feature the same person. Though Feces and Freedom and A Tale of a False Dream do not deal with the uprising directly, they help reveal the reasons why the author studied the massacre and his opinions of it.
