Book Talk about The Penguin Book of Korean Short Stories

The Korean Cultural Centre UK held a talk about the The Penguin Book of Korean Short Stories with the editor, Bruce Fulton.

This eclectic, moving and enjoyable collection is the essential introduction to Korean literature. Journeying through Korea's dramatic twentieth century, from the Japanese occupation and colonial era to the devastating Korean War and the rapid, disorienting urbanisation of later decades, The Penguin Book of Korean Short Stories captures a hundred years of Korea's vibrant short-story tradition. The collection features stories by some of Korea's greatest writers as well as many brilliant contemporary voices. Curated by Bruce Fulton, this is a volume that will surprise, unsettle, and delight.

On 3 May, the Korean Cultural Centre welcomed the editor Bruce Fulton via video link. Moderator Grace Koh was asking and gathering the Q&A session. The editor shared his experience during the editing, asking the audience what Korean short fiction could be added to the next version.
