Acclaimed Korean-to-English translator and newly minted novelist, Anton Hur is navigating his busiest year yet. Based in Seoul, Hur was born in Stockholm and raised in Hong Kong, Ethiopia and Thailand, "but mostly in Korea." So far this year, he has published six translated works, made his debut as a fiction writer, and embarked on a whirlwind international book tour -- with more to come in the remaining months. “I've been traveling a lot this year,” Hur said in an interview with The Korea Herald on Oct. 10. “I’ve been to Seattle, Montreal, Dubai, Bhutan and the UK twice. By the second time (I passed through the same airport), I was like, 'Why does this place feel so familiar?' And I must have spent nearly a month in the US.” Reflecting on his packed schedule, Hur recalled his conversation with Daniel Hahn, the British writer, editor and translator with over a hundred books to his name.
