Korean Literature in the American Market

Export Case   Korean Literature in the American Market   2024.04.01   I began translating Yun Ko-eun for a literary translation workshop in 2015, as an undergraduate at Princeton University.

Introduced under the names of spy novels, detective stories, and detective novels, mystery literature was translated and adapted mainly from newspaper serials. A representative work is Arthur Conan Doyle’s Three Students, which Haemongsaeng adapted and published as Faithful Servent on Taeseomunyesinbo in 1918.
