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.

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 ...

Why a Pastor Laughed at the Buddha’s Joke

One-Liner Quotes   Why a Pastor Laughed at the Buddha’s Joke     2026.08     The Buddha’s Fatal Joke: A Reading of the Diamond Sutra, by Han Hyoung-jo, Munhakdongne, 2011   The Buddha’s Fatal Joke: A Reading of the Diamond Sutra, by Han Hyoung-jo, Munhakdongne, 2011   If I were asked to pick a Buddhist book on my bookshelf that I, as a pastor, reach for often, I would choose this one without hesitation. The title alone catches the eye, referring to a scripture that teaches enlightenment as "the Buddha’s fatal joke." The author, Han Hyoung-jo, is a scholar who has taught Eastern philosophy for a long time at the Academy of Korean Studies. Unraveling the Diamond Sutra in the language of today, this book is both a commentary on Buddhist scripture and a guide to the "art of living (ars vitae)" that asks how we ought to live.     &nb...

Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026

Topic   Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026   2026.01.05         Trends in 2025: A Year of Digital Transformation and Practical, Stability-Oriented Content   In 2025, Korea’s publishing market underwent noticeable shifts in the ways readers discovered, selected, and consumed books, as digital transformation accelerated and social and economic uncertainty deepened. On the surface, the overall market size appeared relatively stable. Beneath that stability, however, structural changes became increasingly clear: the number of new titles grew significantly, while the average print run per title declined. As supply expanded, the actual market reach secured by individual titles continued to narrow. These changes were further shaped by the expansion of generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) and intensified competition from OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms. Together, t...

He designed covers for books, including Italy, Anyway (Nanda Is Art), You & I, Yellow (Nanda Is Art), and Study is Hard Work (UU Press). He mainly makes books, catalogs, and records, and writes in between.

It will be nearly impossible to know everything about who we are. The self we are at work is different from the self we are at home; different again with friends, with a lover, when eating together with others, and when eating alone. Some versions of ourselves appear only in certain situations or through certain people, while others never surface at all.In Gaeul in ...
