THE PENGUIN BOOK OF KOREAN SHORT STORIES GEBUNDEN

This eclectic  moving and richly enjoyable collection is the essential introduction to Korean
literature. Journeying through Korea's dramatic recent past  from the Japanese occupation and

years of vivid storytelling. Here are peddlers and donkeys travelling across moonlit fields 
artists drinking and debating in the tea-houses of 1920s Seoul  soldiers fighting for survival
exiles from the war who can never go home again  and lonely men and women searching for
connection in the dizzying modern city. The collection features stories by some of Korea's
greatest writers  including Pak Wanso  O Chonghui and Cho Chongnae  as well as many brilliant
contemporary voices  such as P'yon Hyeyong  Han Yujoo and Kim Aeran. Curated by Bruce Fulton
