Thanks to those of you who came out today on late notice, and on the first nice Saturday of Spring. The powerpoint presentation I gave is available here: .Seoul ABC – Korean Litsmall. You will note, for ease of download it has been stripped of most graphics and a few slides.
Anyone interested in an e-copy of The Explorer’s Guide to (translated) Korean Literature can leave a comment in this thread with your email address (feel free to break it up to avoid address harvesters), and I will send you a PDF. Comments and suggestions are happily accepted.
Thank-you very much Prof. Charles Montgomery.
Excellent presentation today. Just adds to my problem of too many books and not enough time. Looking forward to reading your Explorer’s Guide. When I moved here in 2010 I knew there had been a war here and honestly not much else. It was interesting at that time when I went out to buy some books on Korea (fiction and non-fiction) the offerings were mainly about the war. Things have changed in that time, but your presentation was great to give some structure and direction to future reading about Korea. Thank you.

Hi Professor. Great talk yesterday and thanks for The Wings! I love it. The start is so strange though. I can’t understand why Yi Sang says “Close down the 19th Century… The spirit of Dostoevsky can be easily wasted.” when his writing is so similar to Dosteovsky?
I especially liked your explanation of how high context and communal focus allow for less explanation. Really insightful! I feel like a lot of Korean culture is focused on a shared understanding of cultural coercion of individuals, rather than individuals’ choices, which Westerners can’t easily relate to even if they know the culture because they don’t feel the coercion. Yi Sang is an exception though, he’s so anti-social it’s great!
I’d like a copy of your Explorer’s Guide please. My email is rasutt at gmail.com.
Thanks for all your feedback. You should all have received a copy of the PDF (LOL, which is already out of date). If not, contact me by email..
It was great to see you talk about books in translation last weekend. I have just moved to Korea and was really curious about where to start and what to read. Now I feel like I have an idea of where to start researching to better get into the literature.
I would like a copy if you are still emailing them. Ifromecouldfall (at) gmail.com
