A Doctor’s “Health Book” on Diagnosis and Care for What Ails Korean Society Today

One-Liner Quotes   A Doctor’s “Health Book” on Diagnosis andCare for What Ails Korean Society Today Healthy Bookstore Manager’s Pick   2024.07.01   Kim Min-Jung is the manager of “11ho1,” a “healthy bookstore” where you can discover and exchange thoughts about health in everyday life.   “I see the limitations of modern medicine almost every day as a physician. No matter how advanced medical science gets, it will never be omnipotent.” This is the story of an 80-year-old practicing physician I met in a bookstore a few years ago. It was somewhat surprising to hear a senior doctor with nearly 60 years of clinical and research experience at a medical school comment on the limitations of modern medicine. It was not only that: many of the doctors I met through books in my bookstore were concerned with narratives that extend beyond numbers, towards society outside the small clinic. That is how I came to realize that our health and healthy...

Development and Transformation of Korean Young Adult Fiction

Topic   Development and Transformation of Korean Young Adult Fiction   2024.06.03   “Young Adult (YA)” is a keyword that can’t be left out when discussing Korean literature in recent years. In fact, “recent” might not be the right word. It was in 2021 when the first article on the topic of “young adult fiction” appeared in K-Book Trends, and Sohn Won-Pyung’s Almond (Dazzling Publishers), which was mentioned as a work that led the young adult market at that time, was published in 2017. However, the term “young adult” appears in the submission guidelines of new fiction contests, in the names and intentions of newly conceived novel series, and in the introductions of young adult SF or fantasy novels. As such, young adult fiction is expanding and changing at a remarkably rapid pace. This growth can be attributed to the steady improvement of Korean young adult fiction, the changes in general fiction, and readers’ enthusiasm for new genres. S...

Understanding Today’s Korean Society

One-Liner Quotes   Understanding Today’s Korean Society A Sociologist’s Pick   2024.06.03   Nho Myung-Woo is a sociologist teaching sociology at Ajou University and the owner of Nieun Bookstore, a bookstore specializing in humanities and social sciences books.     Characters are one of the oldest forms of human media. The way we produce text with letters takes many forms, depending on each region’s historical traditions and culture. In alphabetic cultures that use a phonetic writing system, text is written horizontally from left to right. Alphabetic cultures write in syllables, rather than grouping syllables together and representing them in phonetic units. In contrast, East Asia’s Chinese character cultures adopted vertical writing, and it has been a long-standing cultural tradition.The vertical writing style branched out into many different forms in the 20th century, with different countries making ...

The Bird That Drinks Tears, Flying Around the World

Export Case   The Bird That Drinks Tears, Flying Around the World   2024.05.07   Sometimes, a project comes across your desk as an editor that immediately catches your eye. Maybe it’s the title, or the author, or the pitch that was written to suck you in. With The Bird That Drinks Tears (Minumsa Publishing), it was definitely the latter for me, specifically the idea of “the Korean Lord of the Rings.”Okay?that got my attention. Diving into the manuscript, then, I was blown away by the depth of the world and how fascinating the characters were. And yet, while Lee Young-do is certainly a Tolkien in breadth and spirit, he’s also distinctly Korean in the best possible way. This wasn’t just another Western fantasy retread, but a purely new read for me, and that was exciting. The “if you haven’t read it before, it’s new to you” vibe was strong, and I found myself sucked into the narrative.   Korean edition o...
