Granta / May 18, 2016

Han Kang, winner of the 2016 Man Booker International Prize, came in to the Granta and Portobello offices to help design the paperback cover for Human Acts. While she was here she spoke with her editor Max Porter about how book covers reflect cultures, and why she decided to write about the massacre of Gwangju. ‘It’s because of my unending question about being human.’

We have Deborah Smith to thank for Han Kang – and we are truly grateful. Fresh from winning an Arts Foundation Award, next month sees Smith launch a publishing house that will transform a literary landscape choked with diversity issues.

Su knygomis turiu įdomų santykį. Pirmoji, perskaityta penkerių, prisigėrė ašarų, mat nebuvo taip lengva mokytis jungti skiemenis. Vidurinėje mokykloje laimėjau vasaros skaitymo konkursą už daugiausia perskaitytų knygų, o paskutiniais gimnazijos metais atradau prarastąją kartą ir vokiečių bei prancūzų autorius. Tiesa, paskui prasidėjo dailėtyros studijos ir teko visiškai pasinerti į akademinę literatūrą. Nors studijuodama šešerius metus, galiu pripažinti, daug išmokau apie dailę, architektūrą, fotografiją ir kiną, mano ryšys su grožine literatūra beveik išnyko.

Western audiences have grown increasingly interested in Korean culture in recent years. From K-pop to K-food, K-beauty to K-drama, audiences have an insatiable appetite for everything Korean. To get a taste of South Korea’s culture, nothing compares to a page-turning novel.

Book Riot / December 15, 2023

The Korean Wave has exploded in popularity in recent years. It’s evident in K-pop, K-drama, and webtoons, all of which originated in South Korea. The Korean Wave is stronger than ever in many countries, particularly in mine, which is only a few hours away from Seoul. K-pop concerts are held on occasion, and there are even Korean barbecue restaurants on almost every corner (samgyeopsal is to die for). This phenomenon is not going away soon, either. Everything Korean these days seems in high demand, even in various storytelling formats such as comics and books. The boom of K-drama-inspired novels has made it to romance publishing and beyond.
