Books That Spark Endless Discussion: Recommendations for Book Clubs from Critics Across Generations

Special Project   Books That Spark Endless Discussion:Recommendations for Book Clubs from Critics Across Generations     2026.10     It’s the middle of autumn, a time to quietly look back on the year. October is a month for talking with others over books. For this issue’s Special Project, critics from different generations recommended books that are great for book club members to read and share their thoughts on. Each critic looked at the key issues facing Korean society, as well as the anxieties, futures, and happiness of each generation, from the perspective of their own generation. They then recommended books that help us reflect on our lives and prepare for tomorrow.         The 20s Perspective - Lee Sollim, Cultural Critic   Ahn Hee-je, Love and Stability, Hankyoreh Publishing, 2026   “You’ve really ...

In Translation, Context Is Where the Difficulties Converge

Topic   In Translation, Context Is Where the Difficulties Converge     2026.09     When we call something untranslatable, we usually don't mean a word that can't be rendered at all, but one that keeps demanding to be translated again. I'm not persuaded by explanations that locate the difficulty of translating Korean literature in the mystique of culturally loaded words like jeong or bap. What a translator has to carry across isn't some ultimate emotion sealed inside a word, but the connections that word forms within the work itself.   My Mouth WatersKim Ae-ran, Moonji Publishing, 2007   The narrator of Kim Ae-ran's short story “Ascending Scales” (Moonji Publishing, 2007) is the daughter of a dumpling shop owner. Her mother sends her to piano lessons, believing her child should get the same education as everyone else's. Then the family collapses after the father cos...

Special Project   Books that Critics from Each Generation Would Want to Translate Themselves     2026.09     If you have ever loved a book that remains unpublished abroad, you have likely wondered why such a remarkable work was never translated. In keeping with this issue's focus on the art of translation, 〈Special Project〉 asks critics which book they would personally choose to translate if given the chance. Critics from each generation offered recommendations through their own lens, choosing books that introduce Korea or lay bare the realities of our society.         The 20s Perspective – Lee Sollim, Cultural Critic   A Camera That Makes You Look Especially UglyShin I-in, Wisdom House, 2026   Can the small, odd details of one person's life survive a border crossing?

Ripples of Connection: The Cat Is the Answer

Export Case   Ripples of Connection: The Cat Is the Answer     2026.09     Where the Connection Began   Nabiclub returned to the 〈K-Book Copyright Market〉 this year. Overseas publishing markets diverge from domestic ones, and it is precisely within those differences that new possibilities emerge. This discovery is the fundamental reason we participate. What works differs from country to country, press to press, buyer to buyer. That is only natural, since the vitality of publishing comes from diversity. The primary purpose of attending is to identify and cultivate those points of intersection, whether through a market, a theme, a publishing house, or an individual editor.   When Nabiclub first attended the Market in 2025 to establish its identity as a press specializing in Korean mystery fiction, we achieved a modest yet deeply meaningful milestone: securing a rights contract with Yilin, a ...

When TV Dramas Become Books: Screenplays and script Books as Collectibles Driving Fandom’s Transmedia Consumption

Topic   When TV Dramas Become Books:Screenplays and script Books as CollectiblesDriving Fandom’s Transmedia Consumption     2026.08     TV Drama script Books Becoming Bestsellers   In May 2024, the uncut script book for the tvN drama 〈Lovely Runner〉 topped the YES24 overall bestseller list just one day after pre-orders began. Driven overwhelmingly by buyers in their 20s and 30s, this phenomenon was no ordinary book-selling success. Instead, it signaled a new consumption culture where video content reaches the hands of fandom through the physical medium of a book.   The same was true for the tvN drama 〈Our Unwritten Seoul〉, which ended its run in June 2025. The original uncut script book by writer Lee Kang reached No. 1 in YES24's art section as soon as presales opened. A reader noted, "The dialogue was so good. The script book feels like merchandise that soothes the lingerin...
