A Korean Literature Night has been held in Havana, Cuba, a country known for its passion for books and literature. The event was held on February 13 on the sidelines of the 2015 International Book Fair of Havana. As part of the event, poet Moon Chung-hee and novelist Oh Jung-hee hosted a Q&A session for their Cuban readers. Some 100 people attended the event, including Cuban Minister of Justice Maria Esther Reus Gonzalez and Vice President Edel Morales of the Cuban Book Institute (Instituto Cubano del Libro). Moon read excerpts from her poetry book "Yo soy Moon," while Oh gave a reading from her novel "Evening Game." Afterward, an awards ceremony was held to hand out prizes to those who wrote book reviews and drew pictorial poems related to works by the two Korean writers. Some Cuban students wowed the crowd with their K-pop dance performances, too. - See more at: http://www.korea.net/NewsFocus/Culture/view?articleId=125842#sthash.i4hRMgx2.dpuf
