The MZ Generation Reads New Non-Fiction

Topic   The MZ Generation Reads New Non-Fiction   2021.09.06   When did the golden age of non-fiction begin?   There is a genre that boasts of being at the best place in the bookstores. It is non-fiction, in particular essays, a genre where people speak frankly about their personal stories."The golden era of non-fiction has arrived" has become too cliché. Essays were once treated as "useless writings" until the beginning of the 2000s, when novels or books about money and economics prevailed in the markets. However, as mega-hit essay collections emerged entering the 2010s, such underestimation dissipated. Publishers, who belatedly realized that essays make money, have begun to fiercely launch essay collections into the market.For example, Kim Nan-Do’s You Become an Adult After Wavering for Thousand Times (Munhakdongne Publishing), Hyemin Sunim’s The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down (Suo Books), Lee Byung-Ryul’s Attraction (Dal Publishers), and Lee Oi-Su...
