A little over a year after the London Book Fair, at which his Vietnam war novel The Shadow of Arms was launched, Hwang Sok-yong returned to London to launch Sora Kim-Russell’s translation of his 2007 novel Princess Bari. Hwang appeared at Asia House today for a book-signing and conversation with Guardian literary critic Maya Jaggi, assisted by Dr Grace Koh from SOAS. The conversation was of traditional shaman tales and travelling storytellers, of migrants and homelessness, of London’s 7/7 bombings, Parisian riots, and of North Korea.
