Loved some of the short stories in this collection. They had a unique tone of being clearly ‘non-western’ stories, reflecting an sort of Korean calmness in them, but also a more classic tone, a bit different from the more contemporary Korea on short stories.
A note that because they’re translations of older Korean stories, they read very much like classics of the mid to late 1900s period, not of the 21st century writings from Korea.
