A New Opportunity for Korean Literature in Poland   By Marzena Stefanska on Nov 21 2014 15:22:59 Vol.21 Autumn 2013 First I would like to thank LTI Korea for supporting translators and publishers from around the world. Without LTI Korea many books would never see the light of day. Korean literature is still not very popular in many countries. While several works have been published into English and other popular languages (including Japanese and Chinese), some of Korean literature’s greatest works have remained hidden from readers worldwide. I would like to share my ideas and strategies for promoting Korean literature and to pass down some of the experiences I’ve had during my last five years of being both a translator and publisher. I will explore some general parallels which can be found between world literature and Korean literature in context of the Polish market. My objective is to draw a contemporary picture of Korean literature and to suggest some strategies for more effective dissemination of Korean literature abroad. I will be touching on such subjects as readability, authenticity, marketability, and ultimately, responsibility.
