The Land Where Grain and Words Grow: Iowa

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑪] The Land Where Grain and Words Grow: Iowa   2025.11.03   University of Iowa (Source: University of Iowa website)     The State of Iowa, located in the midwestern part of the US, might be unfamiliar to most Koreans, but it is one of the most critical regions for American agriculture. Iowa is both the heart of the “Corn Belt” - known for its vast cornfields - and one of the main pillars of the “Grain Belt,” which is responsible for much of the nation’s crop production. Iowa is one of the few regions where the Corn Belt and the Grain Belt overlap. Anyone visiting Iowa for the first time would be astonished by the vastness of its farmland - so immense that even after driving for hours, you would see no end to it.The population of Iowa steadily increased from the late 19th to the early 20th century with the influx of agricultural immigrants, but urbanization later bro...

Jane Lawson, Publishing Director at Doubleday, Talks About Korean Literature

Export Case   Jane Lawson, Publishing Director at Doubleday,Talks About Korean Literature   2025.11.03   Just a decade ago, there was a prevailing belief that Korean literature could not be globalized because of linguistic and translational barriers. However, with the improvement of translation and global readers’ growing eagerness for a wider range of stories, Korean content began to draw closer to them. It eventually settled in as its own genre under the name “K-content,” now recognized worldwide. Korean literature, in particular, proved this trend with Han Kang’s Nobel Prize in Literature. Yet, many Korean works remain undiscovered internationally. At the “2025 Copyright Export Support Program,” organized by the Literature Translation Institute of Korea (LTI) this past September, we met Jane Lawson, publishing director at Doubleday, an imprint of Penguin Random House UK, and discussed Korean literature.   ...

Korean Literature: From Page to Screen

Topic   Korean Literature: From Page to Screen   2025.09.04   In the Korean film industry, the label “based on a novel” is no longer unusual. Over the past decade, films adapted from literary works have steadily reached theaters, making secondary rights sales a significant revenue stream for publishers. For filmmakers, novels are an attractive source material because they offer strong narratives and existing recognition, all within the constraints of limited budgets. As a result, adaptations have not only drawn audiences to cinemas but also reignited book sales, often sending older titles back up the bestseller lists. Since the success of adaptations such as Gong Ji-Young’s The Crucible (Changbi Publishers) and Kim Ryeo-Ryeong’s Wandeuk (Changbi Publishers), which achieved both commercial popularity and social impact, literary-based films are no longer regarded as “exceptional undertakings.” This month’s article reviews prominent examples from the last ten...

A Thriving Metamorphosis of Queer Literature

Knowledge   A Thriving Metamorphosis of Queer Literature The growth and prospects of Korean queer literature   2025.09.04   Refreshing history: joining hands with feminism   The queerness of Korean literature continues to reach new heights. Recent works published in literary magazines, almost without exception, embody a feminist consciousness and a queer-friendly stance. Novels that feature gay, lesbian, and transgender characters as central figures are also steadily on the rise. Of course, whether a work can be called “queer literature” simply because its characters are named and categorized as queer remains a question that requires ongoing reflection. Over the past ten years, however, the demographic composition of the literary world created by Korean literature has gradually shifted from cisgender heterosexuals to characters where queerness, disability, and feminism intersect. Given that the visibility of queer identities begins wit...

A City on the Mirror-Like Surface of Water: Stockholm

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑧] A City on the Mirror-Like Surface of Water: Stockholm   2025.08.04       The nickname “Venice of Scandinavia” is not quite accurate for Stockholm. While Stockholm and Venice share a common ground in that they are both comprised of several islands and countless bridges connecting them, Stockholm is much smaller and quieter than Venice. People in Stockholm are adept at having conversations without much gesturing, while naturally maintaining an appropriate distance between themselves. However, in the summer, especially in August, the city transforms into a completely different place. The sun shines on the city well past nine in the evening, and people smile and chat with each other at a slightly closer distance than usual. It might be in an outdoor caf?, or on a boat rocking gently, or on the steps of Stockholm City Hall, where the Nobel P...
