KA Roundup #3
Note: To help raise KA consciousness, we launched KA Roundup, a new column on our blog that will highlight some of the most interesting Korean and Korean American-related links we found on the web. So, click through these links, share them with your circle and, most importantly, be in the know.
- Please Look After Mom makes it on the NYT bestseller list Shin Kyung-Sook's Please Look After Mom (translated by Chi-Young Kim ), a "story of a family’s search for their mother, who goes missing one afternoon amid the crowds of the Seoul Station subway," is on The New York Times bestseller list—a first for a Korean novel! [subjectobjectverb - Jae Won Chung did a great interview with translator Chi-Young Kim (read parts 1 & 2). By the way, SOV is an awesome blog - it should definitely be one of your daily reads!]
