A podcast of my segment on 1013 Mainstreet on TBS eFM. This is quite similar to last Tuesday’s post, but as usual, I include it for anyone who would rather listen than read, or whoever wants to hear what I sound like (screechy and mouthing platitudes^^).

China has several English language literary magazines.

If ROK wants to have its literature be more widely read, it will want to have such a literary mag.
Charles,
It’s great to listen to your KHS in KTLIT Podcast, and I am glad your interviewer has asked about the ever-so-quite translator, Don Mee Choi.
I believe KHS is lucky to have her. Please read http://www.whitingfoundation.org/search/writers/don_mee_choi.
Also, did you know that Kim is representing Asia at the event words ? I hope I copied correctly.
Ju-Chan,
LOL, Ahn Junghyun doesn’t ask many questions I don’t put into her mouth – I send them a script the day before we tape. When I met KHS, she specifically mentioned her trust in Don Mee Choi, so I thought it should be included. Then, when I saw some of Choi’s poetry (which I didn’t get a chance to read on air) I thought I could see an obvious connection in styles. I think I will do a Yonhap article on KHS and try to get more of that stuff in…
Charles,
Yes, there should be something like that. Someone mentioned that at the September Conference, but I guess it is still on the to-do list. – LTI Korea does put out LIST Magazine, but that is aimed more at publishers.
