Globalizing Korean Literature: The Journey of Kim Hye-jin and Her Works

Export Case   Globalizing Korean Literature:The Journey of Kim Hye-jin and Her Works   2024.11.04   I am writing this a day after Han Kang received the Nobel Prize in Literature “for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.” The first in history for a writer from South Korea. It is, without a doubt, a huge milestone for South Korean literature and a debt that was long overdue. Some may even feel that this is the ultimate goal for the internationalization of Korean literature.Korea has an incredibly rich and diverse literary culture that has conquered the world in recent years, and I feel that this is an interesting moment to stop and think about how authors and authorships are managed. The most important ‘ingredients’, which are talent and key resources such as translators, grants, and promotion programs, are already there. The support is truly impressive. But how can we best promote a...

Books That Expanded My Horizons

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. Adding the keyword “Korea” to my personal book selection criteria of “books that expand my horizons,” regardless of language, I picked out two books with great effort. Two books are: Leaning Against the Entasis Solumns at Muryangsujeon Hall (Hakgojae Publishers, 1994) and Music Story Collection (Franz, 2024).     Leaning Against the Entasis Solumns at Murya...

Current Status of Adult-Oriented Picture Book Publishing and Publishers in Korea

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. If a child and an adult read the book together, the child reads it more progressively. As such, while the best readers of picture books have been, and are, children, there are, in fact, fun picture ...

Korea Today and the Charm of Korean Culture

Special Project   [English Books in Korea ①] Korea Today and the Charm of Korean Culture   2024.06.03   I’m pleased to be able to introduce the English edition of my book about Korea through this interview. This is because such an opportunity does not come around often, and because through this, I can draw the attention of the industry and readers in this harsh climate where the number of English books about Korea is decreasing rather than increasing.One keyword that automatically comes to mind when you think of English books about Korea is “Kinokuniya” bookstores in Japan. I was literally overwhelmed by the number of English books about Japan that I saw at Kinokuniya Bookstore in Japantown, San Francisco, US. On the other hand, the number of English books published in Korea is far too little, and the fields are focused on culture and language, with very few on economics, society, practical skills, and people. What’s more, the number of titles is shrinking.M...

Publishing Kim Hyesoon and International Poetry

Export Case   Publishing Kim Hyesoon and International Poetry   2024.06.03   New Directions was founded in 1936 by the pioneering publisher James Laughlin when he was a student at Harvard. Laughlin conceived of New Directions as a way to introduce some of the most groundbreaking and experimental poets of the time (Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Hilda Doolittle, Louis Zukofsky), aiming to publish writing that “made it new” in English and other languages. He also traveled widely, introducing fiction writers and poets from abroad. Laughlin built one of the great literary lists in American publishing, and ND continues to publish international literature, following in his path.Poetry is a vital part of our publishing program. Currently, we offer the work not just of many interesting and important American poets, but poets from other countries as well? like Bei Dao and Xi Chuan from China, Tomas Transtr?mer from Sweden, Ana Lu?sa Amaral and Fern...
