Just as with Japanese fiction, there are as many reasons to love Korean fiction as there are to love the fiction of any culture or country, your own or otherwise. But it can be difficult sometimes to know where to start. Maybe you’re interested in specific aspects of Korean culture. Maybe you just want to broaden your reading horizons. Whatever your reason, I hope you’ll be emboldened to find your new favourite read.
