This review, published in KLN Vol. 69, introduces Lee Yuri’s Broccoli Punch, the first of her works to be translated into English. The collection’s delightful and inventive short stories amuse the readers through humorous first-person narratives and magical realism while addressing heavy themes, such as grief, depression, and loss. The review expresses hope that Lee’s short stories will resonate with English-speaking readers and reveal a fresh charm of contemporary Korean fiction.

KLN 제69호에 실린 이 글은 이유리 작가의 첫 영어 번역작 <브로콜리 펀치>를 소개한다. 유쾌하고 기발한 단편 소설들은 슬픔, 우울, 이별 등 무거운 주제를 다루면서도 경쾌한 1인칭 서사와 마법적 리얼리즘으로 독자를 즐겁게 한다. 이 소설집이 영어권 독자들에게 새로운 한국 문학의 매력을 전하길 소망하는 메시지가 묻어나 있는 글이다.
