Recommendation
I feel human beings are like light. We have the character of both individual particles and collectively resonating waves. Perhaps, literature is the work of recording the courses that these light particles and waves create by colliding with and reflecting itself.
_Novelist Pu Hee-ryoung
I take comfort from the fact that grasping and struggling with that giant tree called the “novel” is not an easy task to anyone and that I shouldn’t be ashamed of battling with it indefinitely while complaining about how difficult the task is. I feel fine and I am happy because I firmly believe that my effort is not in vain even if I don’t reach my goal; I am hopeful that I might be able to overcome even the futility of life with that shard of eternal truth.
_Novelist Yun Young-su
I sincerely thank all my close readers faraway.
_Novelist Kim Soom
What would be left if all of our lies were taken away from our lives? Only the weak borrow illusion in order to bear with life.
_Novelist Jung Mi-kyung
Sometimes, I see my incarnations in my works. “Drum Beat” is one of these works. I can't help feeling moved seeing it adorned in its new language and handsomely decorated to go out onto its larger stage.
_Novelist Song Yong
I put what I could offer on the plate. Please eat!
_Novelist Oh Soo-yeon
This was, perhaps, my story. Both women came from me. Two women. A pair of chopsticks. Attack and defense. This and that sides of my own consciousness. A grand use of chopsticks.
_Novelist Cheon Un-yeong
When I imagine my work being translated into another language and read by readers of another country I feel like I am receiving a special sort of invitation. I thank the editors of the Bilingual Edition: Modern Korean Literature for creating this meaningful invitation letter.
_Novelist Kim Mi-wol
The Bilingual Editions of modern Korean fiction issued by ASIA Publishers constitute the first extended series of Korean literature that incorporates both the original Korean text and an English translation. The variety of voices included, many of them underrepresented in translation until now, bespeaks the vibrancy of a millennia-old literary tradition that is finally gaining international visibility. Attractively produced and reasonably priced, these volumes offer an excellent introduction to the heart and soul of modern Korean fiction.
_Bruce Fulton, University of British Columbia
Asia Publishers’ Korean-English <Bi-lingual Edition: Modern Korean Literature> makes a major contribution to world literature, offering a thematically organized, diverse collection of the most important, cutting edge Korean writers working over the last fifty years. Masterfully translated, this bilingual series will prove invaluable to readers everywhere and to the classroom. Most highly recommended for those seeking a window to the richness of modern Korean literature and culture.
_Theodore Q. Hughes, Columbia University (Korea Foundation Associate Professor of Korean Studies in the Humanities, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures)
The new Asia Publishers series of Korean literary works will be a most welcome addition deed to the resources for teaching about Korean literature. The editors and translators are among the very best and most widely experienced in the field, and the works chosen for the series are key parts of the modern to contemporary literary world of Korea. Korean literature’s reach, the chance for particular writers and their works to be known and enjoyed, will be wonderfully extended for an international readership, but at the same time, to have the texts in bilingual editions means also that for advanced Korean language classes as well as courses on Korean literature, a deep new well-spring of fresh materials has been opened. As someone who teaches and reads Korean literary work, I am delighted to welcome the new series.
_David R. McCann, Harvard University (Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Literature)

I look forward to reading the “Diaspora Literature” series, Korean literature's newly opened window to the world.
(Novelist Kim Jae-young)
I sincerely pray that this story will provide an opportunity to attract more readers around the world to the fascinating, passionate world of Korean literature.
(Novelist Kim Chong-kwang)
Once I got lost and found myself in the furniture complex at Siksadong. The road was muddy and had deep tire tracks everywhere. Because the doors of the furniture factories were all open wide, I could see the foreign workers working inside. They took sideway glances at me from time to time. A foreign woman, I must have looked strange to them. I am very happy to know that “Dust Star” brings readers from other countries into another language. I feel as if I've become that strange woman peeping into those factories again. I pray for its safe arrival to a strange new planet.
(Novelist Lee Kyung)
Looking at the cover of this book, I feel and am moved again by the passing of time. The father who was the model of the father in this story has already left this world, and the age of the son and narrator has caught up with that late father's. Perhaps, because this story is autobiographical, I look forward to reading this story again over the fault lines of time.
(Novelist Lee Dong-ha)
Large and small acts of violence are pervasive throughout our world. These acts of violence include not only such obvious examples as a war, but also many subtle ones that hide beneath the headings of custom or culture. Oppression that prevents us from living according to our nature–oppression that we have grown so accustomed to that we forget that they are, in fact, oppressive–literature guides our attention to this and asks us what would be our way out of it all. I believe in the power of stories that help us reflect on our modes of living and proceed towards love. I trust that Asia’s “Bi-lingual Edition Series” will be a bridge among people of different cultures and languages by inspiring sympathy and solidarity between all of us.
(Novelist Lee Hye-kyung)
The re-illumination of already proven values, the “Bi-lingual Edition: Modern Korean Literature” series provides examples of practical efforts in the globalization of Korean literature. I look forward to its Set 4.

ABOUT THE TRANSLATORS
Introduce of the quarterly ASIA
Reading Asia Through the Eyes of Asia
ASIA : A magazine of Asian Literature, the first quarterly literary magazine featuring literatures and article by pan-Asian writers and thinkers, is the leading regional forum for the creation and exchange of public discourses among Asians. Since its publication in summer 2006, ASIA's aim has consistently been to foster inter-Asian dialogues and discussion and to become the rain forest of literary imagination, teeming with explosive energies, where people of all Asian countries exchange their viewpoints on literature, art and society and share them with citizens of the other parts of the world. ASIA presents various perspectives on pressing Asian and global issues, often featuring alternative voices rarely heard through the mainstream Western media and publishing world and is a place in which Asians read Asia through Asian eyes. ASIA offers a space in which cultural diversity in Asia is respected and united in equality and solidarity.
Join ASIA. ASIA is a rainbow. A rainbow is the beauty created through a co-existence of different colors. ASIA is the foreat of minds created by the co-existence of different creative imaginations. AISA does not mean a specific place. ASIA does not intend to propose aesthetic self-governance. ASIA only intends to look at itself through its own eyes.
