소설 보다 : 가을 2024
[Reading Novels : Autumn 2024]

Book Guide by K-BOOKS AND MORE

<Reading Novels> is a project by Moonji Publishing that started in 2018.
Each quarter, they select “Novels of the Season,” announce the results on their website, and then publish them in a single-volume book.
In the Autumn 2024 edition, three short stories are featured: 「걷기의 활용」 [The Use of Walking], 「옮겨붙은 소망」 [Transplanted Hopes] and 「슬픈 마음 있는 사람」 [A Person with a Sad Heart].
Through this book, readers can discover the works of young Korean writers, and each story is followed by an interview with the author, offering a candid glimpse into their intentions and thoughts about their work, as well as their perspective as novelists.

Each story is relatively short, ranging from 30 to 60 pages, making this a great book for those looking for Korean short stories.
The book features some less commonly used vocabulary and literary expressions, so it is ideal for readers with an upper-intermediate level of Korean.
