소설 보다 : 겨울 2024
[Reading Novels : Winter 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 Winter 2024 edition, three short stories are featured: 「운석」 [Meteorite], 「여름 손님입니까」 [Are You a Summer Guest?], and 「최애의 아이」 [The Child of My Favorite Idol].
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.
