“Book of the Year” Suggests the “Direction” of the Era

Topic   “Book of the Year” Suggests the “Direction” of the Era 2024 Books of the Year in Korea   2025.02.17   2024 Books of the Year selected by different media outlets   The act of recommending a book to another person may seem like a simple and easy thing to do, but it can also be a very complex and thought-provoking act, depending on how you think about it. A straightforward question, “Why this book to me?” is all it takes to understand this: sometimes a book given to a lover can be a declaration of love, a confession of one’s whole soul, or, a book given by a parent to a child who is moving out on his or her own as an adult is meant to be taken to heart as a life lesson. The act of recommending a book can also convey disdain or mockery. A person might suggest a childish or poorly written book to convey the message, “I consider you to be of this intellectual level,” or they might mock an expert by suggesting something like a basic introduction to...

Cities grow and transform like organisms, and along the way, they develop many stories. Those stories, in turn, are the source of an area’s image, energy, and sentiment. Nonsan-si, located in the hinterland of Chungcheongnam-do, is home to many cultural heritage sites, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Donam Seowon, Jonghagdang, and Myeongjae Historic House.

What Comes After Today’s Korean-Style Healing Novels?

Topic   What Comes After Today’s Korean-Style Healing Novels?   2024.10.07   “While the so-called ‘Korean style healing novels’ are selling well these days, trends always change. This craze will be replaced with a new trend sooner or later.” Barbara J. Zitwer, a literary agent working across English-speaking countries, said so in a recent interview. Zitwer is an American who has been exporting Korean literature overseas for about 20 years and is often referred to as a “Korean literature ambassador.” She explains that the phenomenon of Korean-style healing novels being so popular not only in Korea, but also abroad, is something that may change at any time soon. “At first, everyone read pure literature,” she said, “and then the trend shifted to healing novels.” While it may seem that the popularity of Korean literature across all genres has grown on the surface, Zitwer says that international readers switched genres when they got tired of...

Korea Today and the Charm of Korean Culture

Special Project   [English Books in Korea ①] Korea Today and the Charm of Korean Culture   2024.06.03   I’m pleased to be able to introduce the English edition of my book about Korea through this interview. This is because such an opportunity does not come around often, and because through this, I can draw the attention of the industry and readers in this harsh climate where the number of English books about Korea is decreasing rather than increasing.One keyword that automatically comes to mind when you think of English books about Korea is “Kinokuniya” bookstores in Japan. I was literally overwhelmed by the number of English books about Japan that I saw at Kinokuniya Bookstore in Japantown, San Francisco, US. On the other hand, the number of English books published in Korea is far too little, and the fields are focused on culture and language, with very few on economics, society, practical skills, and people. What’s more, the number of titles is shrinking.M...
