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.
