Finally reading Octavia Butler's PARABLE OF THE SOWER. I know everyone talks about how prescient it is, but I was honestly shook on the very first page.

I’m just curious! There are many Korean translators. I’m just wondering why now

So any random Korean translator is being followed and has nothing to do with the fact that I co-translated BEYOND THE STORY, I WANT TO DIE BUT I WANT TO EAT TTEOKBOKKI, and THAT SUMMER’S END?

I am really lucking into some fantastic reads lately. Today I finished YOUR UTOPIA by Bora Chung, translated by Anton Hur. If you just pick it up for the story “A Song For Sleep”, you won’t regret it but really there is not a bad story in the bunch. 👀📚💙

I’m incredibly excited about The AI Mirror being part of the Edinburgh Book Festival and being an author there for the first time: on Aug 10 for the Festival Gala and Aug 14 in conversation with Anton Hur, author of Toward Eternity. BUT…

In case you're interested in a powerful American novel about volatile political times that is equal parts anger & hope, big picture & small moments, stylistic pyrotechnics & good old fashioned truth-telling, let me again bring I Hotel to your attention www.portersquarebooks.com/book/9781566...

This is so cool! Frog & amphibian have been dessimated by the disease chytridiomycosis, caused by a fungal pathogen. Researchers have realised that the fungi is heat intolerant so little brick saunas for frogs can help kill the fungi! Recovered frogs more resistant to further infxn 🧪

As a Korean Green Party founding member, I am so envious of the UK Greens—well done, well done! I know you wanted more, but you still have so much leverage now. Use it down to the ground and give ‘em hell in Parliament.

Korean book Twitter taught me this. We publish A LOT—highly literate nation, invented moveable metal type centuries before Europe—but the print runs are usually minimal. So if you see anything remotely interesting, just buy it. It won’t always be in print. Read it later, but buy it NOW.

I think the idea of making a living from your art is close to being a myth now. Just because we see The Famous Ones able to do this blinds too many people into thinking everyone is (or can) do it also. And it masks the years of hard work most people put in to get to that level.

It’s 1400 won to the dollar and 1800 to the pound right now and as someone who lives in Korea but makes most of his money from America and the UK it is… pretty amazing

Just listened to @antonhur.com's lecture on translation from Bread Loaf 2024. Full of great insight and recommendations, and just very inspiring overall. Always great to be reminded that this is what I want to do and why.
