The “Most Korean” Features Penetrate the World

Topic   The “Most Korean” Features Penetrate the World   2023.01.02   I met Kristen Vida Alfaro, CEO of Tilted Axis Press, in the UK last September. Tilted Axis Press is the publisher set up by Debora Smith, who won the International Booker Prize with Han Kang. The company introduced Love in the Big City (Changbi Publishers) written by Park Sang-Young and translated by Anton Hur to the UK, and the book put its name on the Booker Prize Longlist this year. Also, translated by the same translator, Chung Bora’s Cursed Bunny (Arzak) was selected for the Booker Prize Shortlist. As such, Korean literature – or K-literature – has recently been creating a sensation in English-speaking countries. If you take a closer look at the phenomenon, you will realize that diaspora literature written by Korean-Americans is at the center of popularity, such as Lee Min-Jin’s Pachinko and Michelle Zauner’s Crying in H Mart.   * K-Book Trends Vol. 47 – G...

Writer Yun Jung-Eun

Korean Authors   Writer Yun Jung-Eun A Writer that Delivers “Happiness That Will Eventually Come”   2024.04.01   In 2023, one news thrilled Korean literature fans at home and abroad. It was that Marigold Mind Laundry (Book Romance), a bestseller in Korea recognized as a “healing fantasy novel,” has signed a high advance contract with a major international publisher. For Korean fans, it was a moment of excitement to feel the power of K-literature again, and for international fans, it was a moment of anticipation to read K-literature in their own language. The book’s writer, Yun Jung-Eun, said in an interview that she hopes readers will find their comfort and happiness through reading her books. From that short answer, it was clear that even people who live across borders and speak different languages are connected by a thin but strong thread somewhere in their hearts. Following is an interview with writer Yun, who shares the joy of life with t...

Observing the Stature of K-Literature Through Foreign Literary Awards

Topic   Observing the Stature of K-Literature Through Foreign Literary Awards   2021.10.05   Korean literature was first introduced to foreign countries in the late 19th century. However, it wasn’t until after works of Korean literature started receiving literary awards abroad that they were translated and published full-scale in foreign countries, attracting foreign readers and grabbing the interest of major publishers and publishing agencies in foreign countries.Some awards have been given to works of Korean literature since the early 2000s, but ever since Please Look After Mom by Shin Kyung-Sook received the Man Asian Literary Prize, works of Korean literature have continuously been winning literary prizes, and the number of those prizes have been increasing as well. 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...
