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 Summer 2024 edition, three short stories are featured: 「리틀 프라이드」 [Little Pride], 「그 개와 혁명」 [The Dog and the Revolution] and 「천사들(가제)」 [Angels (Working Title)].
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 40 pages, making this a great book for those looking for Korean short stories.
Various vocabulary is used, and unique Korean expressions are also included.
Additionally, the sentence structure is relatively complex and lengthy, with rich descriptions and emotional expressions, making it suitable for someone at an upper intermediate level in Korean.
