Korean Literary Works that Have Recently Made Their Debut in France

Export Case   Korean Literary Worksthat Have Recently Made Their Debut in France   2021.09.06   I’ve always kept an eye on titles newly released on the market every month or week and trends in the Korean and French book markets while introducing and translating Korean works as a member of a French publisher Philippe Picquier in charge of Korean literature collections. Knowing everything in both markets is essential for selecting and bringing Korean works that will suit the tastes of French readers. In addition, the information shared by Philippe Picquier’s head on the tastes and preferences of French readers is also extremely useful when choosing Korean works.   Korean works recently published by Philippe Picquier.From left, The Prisoner, Only Two People, The Good Son, and Sword and Tongue     Fiction occupies a prominent place among Korean books brought to France.

Essay Writer’s Picks

One-Liner Quotes   Essay Writer’s Picks   2021.09.06     Among the many Korean authors, my favorite author that is close to my heart is Park Wan-Suh. She lived up to her will of “I would be happy to die an author.” And following her dream, I also hope to live as an author until the last moment of my life. Her words, “Waste your youth as much as you wish, for it is the only thing acceptable to be wasted.” are etched in my heart. I interpreted the quote to mean that wasting youth is like taking on challenges that may seem unachievable. It helped me live through the days in my 20s. Out of all the good novels and essays she has left, I would like to introduce Even If the Truth is Worth a Grain of Sand, an essay written by a person who loved beautiful things - beautiful for being humble, sincere, and simple.“There’s one day when everyone seems to be kinder than me. That day was th...
