Korean Literature in the European Publishing Market

Korean Literature in the European Publishing Market   2020.12.07   Violet   The publication rights of writer Shin Kyung-Sook's third full-length novel Violet (Munhakdongne) were sold to Weidenfeld & Nicolson in Britain in November 2020. This publisher released Please Look After Mom (Changbi) of writer Shin in April 2011, and in the following year, the writer was honored with the Man Asian Literary Prize. Violet is Shin Kyung-Sook's second full-length novel to be published in Britain after Please Look After Mom. The title "Violet" has multiple implications; it is a type of flower, a color, and a metaphor for a shy woman. And at the same time, the feeble image is naturally linked to "violence." The writer blends such various meanings embedded within the story through several illustrations and metaphors. Violet is a story of distorted desire and a rotation of all writings where the frustration of all desires and desires for writing follow one after another into the nov...

Writer Yoo Eun sil

Korean Authors   Writer Yoo Eun sil   2022.01.03     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, this is Yoo Eun sil, a chidren’s book writer. I am forty eight this year. It's been 23 years since I started writing books. It’s been 16 years since I published my first book.   What do you think children’s book writers are?   "They should be on the children’s side." I don’t think children’s book writers should be neutral. For example, there are writers that talk about the difficulties of parenting. They submit those books for competition. Being in a position to complain about the grievances of adults - I don't think it's children's literature.   My Doksan-dong       How was your childhood?   I lived on the outskirts of Seoul in the 1980s, in Doksan-dong. There were small businesses between residential areas. That was my neighborhood. My friends' parent...

Writer Kim Lily

Korean Authors   Writer Kim Lily   2021.12.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello. My name is Kim Lily, a children’s author as well as a rice cake shop owner who wrote My d’Artagnan (Changbi), Puff Snacks are Here (Munhakdongne), and Manbok’s Rice Cake Shop Series (BIR).   Did the memories from your childhood influence your works?   When I was young, I was a skinny, not pretty to look at, and not a bright girl. I think that is why I went through some difficult times. But whenever those times hit me, I survived by imagining things. At the time I remember desperately wishing for my wishes to come true. I do write many stories about wishes by reminiscing on those days.   Why did you dream of becoming a children’s book author?   I had this idea that a children’s book author is someone who ‘grows the flower garden of the imagination’. Since I had many siblings, I was sent to the countryside alone and spen...

2nd Week, February 2021 Bestseller Trends in the Four Biggest Online Bookstores in Korea   2021.03.08   When we look at the top 10 bestsellers analyzed by major online bookstores in Korea for the second week of 2021, half of them were from Economics & Business Administration. This implies that it has not lost its strong influence in the Korean book market. For example, My First Investing Lesson Vol 1, 2 scored high from the moment of its pre-order period. Investor Kim Jung-Hwan, the writer of this book, is a major value investor in Korea. He has been gaining public fame across the nation, which is well-reflected in his Youtube performance of recording 450K subscribers in 5 months. The book turned into an issue in the market as the news spread that he has put secrets to investment, which he said he only taught his daughter, in two volumes of a book rather than in a video. While books about economics and business administration are at the center of the bestsellers, th...

How to Live in the Generation where You “Watch” Books

How to Live in the Generation where You “Watch” Books   2020.11.02       Today, reading paper books has become just one of the many ways of enjoying books. Even though you don’t necessarily “bite or taste” the books like that famous advertisement phrase, you are able to enjoy books through various channels. In particular, the transformation of diverse media based on books began to lead the new generation where you “watch, listen to, and experience” books. Some people say that “texts will be replaced with videos in the new era,” but such transformation led by the development of platforms is live evidence that books are still more of an interesting or competitive medium than you might think. This is because a generation of videos without texts or books is like a castle built on sand.   Modern society has entered an era where you watch, listen to, and experience books.     Book-related TV Programs are Fading Away   “Book...
