Grateful to <The Paris Review> @parisreview for running my short story ‘The God and the Giant’(Tr. Hannah Kim) in the Fall issue.
<파리 리뷰> 가을호에 단편을 실었습니다.
무려… 최초로 실린 한국 소설인데요. 사랑하는 역대—현대 작가들과 같은 지면을 나눈 것만으로도 무척 영광입니다.

Highly recommend this heart breaking graphic novel HODO about inner ghosts, unloving family, traumas that carry onto adulthood, despair at the unfairness of it all. It is intense and will make you cry. Guaranteed to make you think about it for days @DandQ @JanetHong333

We're publishing The Lovecraft Reanimated project in a month! It features Korean speculative fiction writers reimagining the works of H.P. Lovecraft. While honoring his eerie imagery, they update his ideas for a global audience.

“The haunting image of a polluted, deteriorating Earth is a recurring element...and it’s clear that we, as humans, bear the responsibility for this crisis.” Don’t skip WWB-er @JanetHong333 in @ChicagoRevBooks on translating Kang Young-sook’s ecofiction. buff.ly/3w3XaCK
