Topic   “Restructuring of Family” Becoming Inevitable   2023.04.03   Korea has risen from a poor country to a rich country with a per capita income of 30 thousand dollars in just half a century.

This spurred a fast transition from the traditional way of having big patriarchal families to nuclear families.

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 ?
