English(English) ArticleThe World According to Bora Chung
Kirkus / March 13, 2024
Bora Chung has been busy. When we speak a few weeks before the U.S. publication of Your Utopia (Algonquin, Jan. 30), her second story collection to appear in English, she is the center of a whirlwind of activity. In November, she had visited New York to attend the National Book Awards, where she and her translator, Anton Hur, were finalists in the category of translated literature for her previous collection, Cursed Bunny. She returned home to South Korea to “a million deadlines,” she says, related to her own work as a literary translator from Polish into Korean (she translates from Russian as well).

English(English) ArticleWhat to read this week: A dystopian delight, a cookbook to ring in Spring, and more
Amazon / March 06, 2024
A huge hit in Korea and translated into English for the first time, Snowglobe is a dystopian novel that delivers on its promise. A combination of The Truman Show and The Hunger Games, the world outside the domed city of Snowglobe is below freezing temperatures, desolate and desperate, while citizens inside lead lives filled with artificial sunshine, health, and wealth. But that comes with a price: they are part of a 24/7 reality TV show, their lives filmed for the masses who live outside their perfect world and whose only escape is the entertainment of watching them. Snowglobe is fast-paced and fascinating, taking a hard look at the haves and have nots, and our obsession with reality TV and its stars. It’s a book that’s full of surprising twists, and I couldn’t put it down. —Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

English(English) ArticleLatin American fiction ‘booms’ again on International Booker prize longlist
The Guardian / March 11, 2024
South Korean novelist Hwang Sok-yong and translators Sora Kim-Russell and Youngjae Josephine Bae were longlisted for Mater 2-10, a novel tracing a century of Korean history through three generations of a family of rail workers. “The absorbing narrative shunts between grungy realism and what the author terms ‘mindam realism’ – as the translators note, ‘halfway between folklore and plain talk’,” wrote Maya Jaggi in a Guardian review. “The result is oral history spiced with legendary exploits and ghostly appearances by forced labourers.”
