One-Liner Quotes   Books That Expanded My Horizons Korean-French Translator’s Pick: Korean Books   2024.09.02   As a French translator, Somi Chang has been translating modern and contemporary French literature into Korean, including Margrit Duras, Albert Camus, Fran?oise Sagan, Romain Garrigue, Michel Uelbeck, Herv? Guibert, and Val?rie Ferenc.   From the position of being an introducer of foreign books to Korean readers, I have gone the other way, introducing books by Korean authors to international readers. I browsed through my bookshelves.

Knowledge   Current Status of Adult-Oriented Picture Book Publishingand Publishers in Korea   2024.09.02   Reflections on “picture books for adults”   My publishing house, “A Little Cat at Noon (오후의 소묘),” began to be called the “picture book publisher for grown-ups” as we published our first picture book At the Drop of a Cat (written by ?lise Fontenaille, illustrated by Violeta L?piz) in spring 2019. But, what exactly is a “picture book for adults”?   Korean cover of At the Drop of a Cat     According to Rouergue, French publisher of the original book At the Drop of a Cat (original title: Les poings sur les ?les), the book is a picture book for children aged 6 or above.

New Books   What Do Life and Death Look Likefor Single-Person Households in South Korea?     2026.06     Kim Su-Young, The Inevitable Loneliness, 2026.   In 2021, Professor Kim Su-Young, author of The Inevitable Loneliness, launched the 〈ALONE〉 project, a two-year study documenting the lives of 109 single-person households. This book brings to light the stories of 56 participants from that research. As of August 2025, South Korea officially entered an era where single-person households exceed ten million. Recognizing that living alone is a structural landscape carved out by late-industrial society, the author conceptualizes this phenomenon as a mechanism of self-production and self-reproduction.   Under the heavy shadows of an unstable labor market and a rapidly aging society, individuals in single-person households must live as the sole authors of ...
