PLEASE LOOK AFTER MOM by Kyung-sook Shin received a very warm mention in a The Daily Beast interview with Chang-rae Lee. (Q) Most Anglophone readers know little or nothing about Korean fiction. Can you recommend a Korean novel, and is there anything unique and distinctive about Korean literature that you could pinpoint? (A) To be honest I’m not that much of a reader of Korean fiction since so little is translated. The one that made a huge splash in recent years, by Kyung-sook Shin. Please Look After Mom won the 2012 Man Asian Literary Prize. That’s a really interesting book. To me, I read it as a sparely-written, but deeply, emotionally powerful. And it translates pretty well because of its style. --Chang-rae Lee.
