2015 Tokyo International Book Fair: Author Kang Young-sook Introductory Booklet

2015-06-01 / II00000295

This is an introductory booklet on novelist Kang Young-sook, produced for literary events at the Tokyo International Book Fair. On July 2, Kang Young-sook gave a talk titled “What Are Friends for?” at the Tokyo Korean Cultural Center, where she discussed the literatures of Japan and Korea under the theme of friends, family and nation. Kang’s lecture at Waseda University on July 1 emphasized the importance of sharing various works with others—not just in literature but in all generic forms—as the growing readership of Korean literature would lead to further opportunities for readers in Korea and Japan to encounter works from each other’s country. This 17-page booklet consists of: “About the Author”, “About the Work”, and “Therefore, We Write”. The excerpts are taken from her novels Rina and The Writing Club.
