Thanks to the prominent novelist Han Kang and her outstanding translator Deborah Smith, Korean literature is now receiving its fair share of attention from the international community.  \nA few months ago The Times Literary Supplement carried an article entitled, “A Glittering Korea.” In it, while comparing the two Koreas, Toby Lichtig writes,“But away from the escapee memoirs, famine histories and book-length speculations about the robustness, politically and gastrointestinally, of the youthful Dear Leader, it is the South that has been gaining headway in the more refined literary arts.” It is true that, besides its breathtaking economic growth, cutting-edge technology, and the widespread popularity of its pop culture termed Hallyu or the Korean Wave, South Korea has emerged on the global stage as a country of delightful literary arts and rich cultural heritage.  \nLichtig also points out that Korean literature in the UK is now rising. “Over the past few years there has been a glut of fiction in translation arriving from South Korea, much of it critically acclaimed and some of it even commercially successful,”he continues.“This is partly thanks to the indefatigable Dalkey Archive, whose Library of Korean Literature, produced in collaboration with the Literature Translation Institute of Korea, will—when complete—amount to an impressive twenty-five novels and collections of short stories.”  \nIn her article in The New Yorker, Mythili G. Rao, too, agrees that the twenty-five books from Dalkey Archive offer a good starting point for English-speaking readers to learn about Korean literature. Indeed, Dalkey’s Library of Korean Literature series plays a crucial role in making Korean literature conspicuous and easily accessible in the Anglophone market.  \nThis year, three major journals came out with special editionson Korean literature: Mānoa: A Pacific Journal of International  \nWriting in the US, Asia Literary Review in the UK, and Le Magazine Littéraire in France. A special issue on Korean literature from Russia’s Inostrannaya Literatura will be forthcoming in November.
