Outside, summer green has quietly taken hold, 
shimmering wherever the eye turns.
Early summer is a season of becoming.
Tender shoots unfurl into leaves, and small stories, 
nurtured over time, find their way into books.

In this June newsletter, we follow Korean literature 
as it continues its journey beyond borders, meeting readers around the world.
As the green deepens with the season, 
may these pages offer a moment of freshnessβ€”a place to pause, 
reflect, and linger in the shade of a good sentence. πŸ’š
Which Work of Korean Literature Should You Read Next?
What was the first work of Korean literature you read? Maybe you came across it by chance. Someone might have recommended it to you, you may have spotted it in a bookstore, or perhaps you picked it up after reading about a new release. Whatever the case, that was the moment you, like Alice, fell down the rabbit hole into the world of Korean literature. Along the way, you may have encountered a scene that captivated you or a question that lingered in your mind long after you finished reading.
