This paper is trying to research the crisis of masculinity in novels of Seo Kiwon and Son Changsup and its meaning of literary education. If the post-war period novels are read through keyword ``gender``, a new interpretational prospect can be opened. Especially for novels of Seo Kiwon and Son Changsup who belong to new generation writers after Korean war, their novels are questioning the male subjectivity and showed how it collapse. Even though these novels have something in common, there are different directions between novels in questioning masculinity. One is a way that Seo Kiwon`s novels pursue the self reflective masculinity criticizing the violence of military masculinity through a intellectual hero. The other is a way that Son Changsup`s novels describe incompetent heros who lack the masculinity totally. In such ways, post-war novels show that gender identification is not steady at all but make some troubles with persons. Therefore these novels can provide various viewpoint about male subjectivity and masculinity especially for Korean male readers who have many schema about the military and Korean war by being transformed through various contextualizations.
