Embracing and Looking After Our Wounds: New Book Releases from November and December 2024 scrap download

상처를 끌어안고 돌보는 우리들, 11-12월 신간 도서입니다.

KLWAVE is constantly striving to introduce global readers to a diverse range of Korean literary works. The following titles, published in November and December 2024, were selected among works featured on the Kyobo Book Centre’s “Book of the Month” and Aladin’s “Magician’s Choice” lists.

We are suddenly struck by a strange yet familiar scent as we walk down the street absentmindedly. Rushing in from who knows where, a biting wind heavy with the smell of winter has found its way to us. The cold makes us hunch and stirs our hearts, still unprepared to face the new season. But instead of urging ourselves to toughen up, we firmly resolve to embrace the wounds we carry within us. And as we wait for the passing of the frigid season and spring’s triumphant return, we reflect on the meaning of “solidarity.”

The new Korean literature releases from November and December 2024 selected by KLWAVE include two poetry collections, one essay collection, and a special edition book set featuring three novels by Han Kang along with some of the author’s very own handwritten notes. Beyond acknowledging, understanding, and showing empathy — it’s about embracing and tending to each other’s wounds. Striving for a future rooted in solidarity. We believe that’s where the beauty of all that is fragile lies.
