This is an introductory booklet on Cheon Un-yeong, produced for the 2005 Frankfurt Book Fair, where Korea participated as the Guest of Honor for the first time and hosted the Korean Literature Tour Program. The author was one of the 62 delegates selected by LTI Korea’s Delegation Selection Committee on the basis of the following criteria: representativeness, existing publications of translated works, and overseas marketability. The entire literature program was co-organized by the LTI Korea, the Frankfurt Book Fair Organizing Committee, Daesan Cultural Foundation, Paradise Cultural Foundation and the International Communication Foundation (ICF). The events started at the Leipzig Book Fair in March and finished with the Guest of Honor Program in October. Cheon Un-yeong participated in literary events in April. This 21-page booklet consists of: ‘Author’s Literary World’, ‘Analysis of The Needle’, ‘Excerpt’, ‘Voices of the Author and Critics’, ‘Biography’ and ‘Bibliography’. The material was put together and analyzed by Ko Bong-jun, and translated by Elke Golchert-Jung. The photographs were taken by Han Young-hee. Cheon Un-yeong’s literary event was held in Cologne in April.
