The Future of Korean Novels: Gen-MZ Writers

Topic   The Future of Korean Novels: Gen-MZ Writers   2023.02.20   There is a new wind blowing into Korean literature. With the emergence of new media, we hear that literature will soon face its demise every time. However, even in the era of YouTube and Netflix, Korean literature still keeps its blood young with the inflow of new writers. At the center of the new flow stands the so-called Gen-MZ (Millennials + Gen Z) writers, born in the 1980s and 1990s. Gen MZ writers, such as Choi Eun-Yung, Chung Se-Rang, Jang Ryu-Jin, Park Sang-Young, Kim Cho-Yeop, and Cheon Seon-Ran, are highlighted as the future of Korean literature. As the new year 2023 loomed, many publishers released a list of books to be published, which includes Gen-MZ writers' names.   Writer Choi Eun-Yung, Park Sang-Young, and Chung Se-Rang (ⓒMunhakdongne Publishing Group)...

The “Most Korean” Features Penetrate the World

Topic   The “Most Korean” Features Penetrate the World   2023.01.02   I met Kristen Vida Alfaro, CEO of Tilted Axis Press, in the UK last September. Tilted Axis Press is the publisher set up by Debora Smith, who won the International Booker Prize with Han Kang. The company introduced Love in the Big City (Changbi Publishers) written by Park Sang-Young and translated by Anton Hur to the UK, and the book put its name on the Booker Prize Longlist this year. Also, translated by the same translator, Chung Bora’s Cursed Bunny (Arzak) was selected for the Booker Prize Shortlist. As such, Korean literature ? or K-literature ? has recently been creating a sensation in English-speaking countries. If you take a closer look at the phenomenon, you will realize that diaspora literature written by Korean-Americans is at the center of popularity, such as Lee Min-Jin’s Pachinko and Michelle Zauner’s Crying in H Mart.   * K-Book Trends Vol. 47 ?
