Light, Even in Darkness

One-Liner Quotes   Light, Even in Darkness     2026.07             The Anxiety of “Securing a Safe Home of One’s Own”   I have a long-standing habit. Upon finally reaching the very last sentence of a novel, I flip the pages backward with a rustle to return to the first sentence once again, a method I call the Möbius strip reading technique. When the end and the beginning of a novel are stitched together inside the mind, the story grows even more intense, leaving no exit. Everything, absolutely everything, becomes amplified.   Yeom Seung-sook, The Future Where Everything Has Already Happened &n...

A “Popup-Addicted” Reporter’s Notebook: Covering Publisher Pop-up Stores

Knowledge   A “Popup-Addicted” Reporter’s Notebook: Covering Publisher Pop-up Stores     2026.06     Why buy a book at an offline bookstore when you can simply order it online? This was the question that emerged within the Korean publishing industry about twenty years ago, when online bookstores first made their debut. Recently, this question has shifted in an entirely different direction: “Why come all the way to a ‘pop-up store’ to buy a book that can be purchased anywhere?”   As a reader who has frequently sought out publisher pop-ups and book fairs, I have chewed over this very question. Why do I personally go all the way to a pop-up to buy a book? While some analysts suggest it is because “text” has simply become “hip,” the young readers I encounter on-site ar...

TWO WOMEN LIVING TOGETHER by Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana

Export Case   TWO WOMEN LIVING TOGETHER by Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana     2026.04     I am the proud American editor of TWO WOMEN LIVING TOGETHER, thebestselling Korean memoir by Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana—two single women in their late thirties, who’ve chosen to buy a home and live togetheras non-romantic life partners. In the United States, the term "roommates" tends to have a very particular connotation, often conjuring young twenty-something-year-olds who are forced to live in close quarters out of thrift, and who may or not become close friends, though they rarely reach the familial intimacy of domestic partners. Typicallythe arrangement is seen as a temporary one, until each roommate reaches the financial freedom to live alone, or to start a household with their romantic partners.   But Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana have fundamentally unsettled this Western convention, as two friends who ...

On the Japanese Publication of Even a Corpse Is Fine - Just Stay by My Side: The Psychology of Evil and Loneliness

Export Case   On the Japanese Publication of Even a Corpse Is Fine - "Just Stay by My Side: The Psychology of Evil and Loneliness"     2026.03     My first encounter with this book happened during an exchange event with Korean publishers. When I reviewed the content, I immediately realized that it was a powerful work of nonfiction: a deep and unflinching examination of criminal psychology, written from the perspective of a professional profiler who had worked directly on real investigation scenes. This combination of universality and firsthand insight drew me in at once.   In Japan, each time a brutal crime makes headlines, public discourse quickly turns to the question: "Why did this happen?" Yet the psychological factors underlying such acts are rarely explored in depth. In that context, a book in which a field expert carefully unpacks the "psycholog...
