In celebration of the 50th
anniversary of diplomatic ties between Korea and Sweden, LTI Korea held book readings for Korean
literature from September 18 to 25 in Stockholm and Göteborg. Writers Yi Mun-yeol and Yun Heunggil,
whose works were published in Swedish, and Chun Yang-hee, the most widely recognized lyrical
poet of Korea, were dispatched for the event. Also, discussions held with members of the Swedish
Writers Union and writers such as Astrid Trotzig, a Swedish adoptee, served as a stepping stone for
literary exchanges between the two countries.
