Age is merely a facet of our stories, not the boundary. Older women stepping into the spotlight in literature isn't just inspiring; it's a call to adventure for all of us, challenging perceptions and inviting readers of every age to discover, learn, and dream.
So, let's dive in together. Grab your drink of choice and settle in as we celebrate stories where age is no barrier to adventure, mystery, or love.

From the effects of rapid economic growth depicted in Hwang Sok-Yong's "At Dusk" to the vivid urban life in "Love in the Big City," and cosiness of "Welcome to the Hyunam-dog Bookshop". I've found these reads slowly over time and hope that it's useful for anyone looking to dive into the rich tapestry of Korean literature.
πInside:
mini-reviews and personal takes on each novel.
A dive into various genres, from modern societal narratives to slice-of-life short stories.
Recommendations for those who love both popular and lesser-known Korean works.
π Whether you're a seasoned reader of Korean literature or just starting, this video should have a little something for everyone.
Happy Reading! πβ¨
