Since 2012, when Castella by Park Min-Gyu received the Japan Translation Award in 2015, and The Vegetarian by Han Gang was the winner of the Man Booker International Prize in 2016, interest in Korean li...

Book-tuber’s Picks

One-Liner Quotes   Book-tuber’s Picks Two ways of looking at hope:Kim Eun-Kook’s The Martyred, Park Ji-Won’s The Jehol Diary   2021.10.05     The novel The Martyred (Munhakdongne Publishing Co.) depicts human beings that didn’t let go of hope even in the midst of war. Koreans had to undergo the Korean War, which was a skirmish of the Cold War in the 20th century, only five years after the country was liberated from Japanese occupation. All human beliefs are shattered on the battlefield, where minutes or even seconds determine life and death: evil flourishes, and good dies. Falsehood becomes truth, and truth becomes falsehood ? the end of absurdity takes place. The “alternative truth” is common in extreme circumstances such as war. Writer Kim Eun-Kook who immigrated to the United States after participating in the Korean War as an officer, elevates the story of a young man who a...
