Without question, literature is the best place to start knowing and understanding one another. For isn't there a real fascinating connection between writers and place - where people come from and where they go? A very large part of a nation's writing is the story of its roots in a place and when Koreans come to our country, they bring with them the story of their roots in Korea.     Source: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9813879-reading-korea

Desde el fin de las dictaduras (1961-1987) en la literatura coreana hubo un florecimiento literario no exento de crudeza, ironía y, en definitiva, una exacer¬bación de todo lo que puede pedírsele a la literatura en un país que en el siglo XX ha atravesado todos los dramas posibles. Si algo caracteriza a los ocho escritores contemporáneos que acá presentamos, es el tener posiciones políticas ligadas al contexto histórico social, y no a la autonomía literaria o a los parámetros claustrofóbicos de valoración literaria impuestos por la modernidad. Este es un atributo diferencial, no un valor. Es decir, es el modo en que lo político entra en el lenguaje de una sociedad oriental específica. Corea no terminó de salir de la pobreza y saldar los traumas que dejó el colonialismo japonés, cuando estalló la guerra de Corea (1950-1953). Las secuelas, a pesar de la entrada acelerada en el neoliberalismo y la dosis paliativa de amnesia que el mundo del entretenimiento y el consumo inyectó en una sociedad avanzada e hipertecnologizada, todavía hoy duran. Los escritores reunidos en este volumen pertenecen de algún modo a esa Corea única, previa a la división. Los ocho cuentos forman un mapa posible para entender la literatura coreana más reciente y su principal corriente: un realismo de corte social que sincroniza la literatura y la historia con el presente nacional. JI-DO, en este sentido, puede resultar una antinomia básica que muestra un secreto natural de la literatura: el de las ficciones que producen realidad.

This story focuses on an agency whose only purpose is to offer apologies--for a fee--on behalf of its clients. This seemingly insignificant service leads us into an examination of sin, guilt, and the often irrational demands of society. A kaleidoscope of minor nuisances and major grievances, this novel heralds a new comic voice in Korean letters.   Source : http://www.bokus.com/bok/9781564789198/at-least-we-can-apologize/

《世界的尽头，我的女友》是一部短片小说集。代表性的篇章为《世界的尽头，我的女友》，该篇讲述了无法与爱人长相厮守的年轻诗人，身患癌症英年早逝。主人公“我”凭借一首诗与几次偶然事件，找到了诗人留下的信件，走入了对方的内心世界。 作者说，虽然理解他人是不可能的，但只要我们爱着某人，就需要为此付出努力，努力这一行为本身，让人生变得有价值。想要做到不轻易绝望这一点，据作者所说，当有火花在我们体内燃烧时便拥有可能。而且，我体内的火花会受到外部影响。在此种影响之下，诞生了这本小说。   Source : http://item.jd.com/11310296.html?cu=true&utm_source=zici.org&utm_medium=tuiguang&utm_campaign=t_24405_&utm_term=da48e495067e439b9e5d14f289cd752e

Voici un kaléidoscope où l'on voit surgir un détective bostonien poursuivant une femme jusqu'en Corée, terra incognita où il se perdra, un étudiant, fasciné par le voyage d'un moine du VIIIe siècle et les exploits d'un alpiniste autrichien, et qui finira dans la blancheur éblouissante d'un 8000 mètres au Népal, le vieux qui fut geôlier de la fidèle Chunhyang et vous racontera contre un verre son histoire authentique, un riche Coréen allant en Chine acheter une épouse pour son frère attardé, un journaliste séoulien qui, en pleine occupation japonaise, veut procéder à la libération des pulsions sexuelles de ses contemporains dont la répression, il en est sûr, entraîne l'hystérie...   Source: http://www.amazon.fr/suis-écrivain-fantôme-Yeon-Soo-Kim/dp/2849525472

"Hye-jin's heart, is alone." I had no idea what the fellow was talking about_whether he was saying that my wife actually had one heart, or that she considered herself to be on her own. Then, as he put his beer can down, the fellow asked for a pen and paper and began to draw. The first thing to appear on the page was a forest. It wasn't the kind of pine forest we might be used to, but something more like a jungle_but at any rate, in this forest lay a baby, its eyes closed. "It was forest. I was baby. I was alone. I was sleeping." Then the fellow drew two eyes on the baby and began to draw tears on either side of the baby's face. Then the baby in the drawing began to cry.   http://www.amazon.com/Everyone-Bi-lingual-Modern-Korean-Literature/dp/B00IZQYRGY/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1437957494&sr=1-1&keywords=9791156620051

After I saw that entry, I began to vaguely wonder if maybe Uncle hadn't abandoned the Pride in front of our house. That maybe, he was returning it. At that time, Grandmother was definitely living with us so maybe, just maybe... But that thought sometimes brought with it slightly more frightening thoughts and it wasn't just me, but Grandmother who thought them too. Whenever Grandmother saw the Pride she'd ask me, "Hey, hey. The car isn't dead, right?" And whenever Grandmother asked me this I'd tell her that the real problem was that it was still running too well. "Hey, hey. Make sure you take good care of it, okay? Make sure you keep it well fed until your uncle gets back." As she said this, she'd hand me a crumpled 10,000 won bill. I took the money from her and asked, "What about me? You'll give the car allowance but not your own grandson?"Grandmother never replied.   Source: http://www.amazon.com/Near-Bi-lingual-Modern-Korean-Literature/dp/B00IZSEK8M/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1426730884&sr=1-2
