[51st Korea Times Translation Awards] Fiction Commendation Award: The Aunt
Before our marriage, I had thought that Taewoo's father's side of the family was bustling, but that on his mother's side, there was only his grandmother. So when I first met his parents, I suspected his mother would be rather head-strong because she was an only child. We had the formal introductory get-together at a Chinese restaurant and his mother was the one who decided th...

[51st Korea Times Translation Awards] Poetry Commendation Award: Two Colors in a Picture Book
This picture book is horizontal and composed of only two colors. Color 1 and Color 2 are equally unimportant. That by itself intrigues the reader. If a character dies on the left page, the right page rejects it. Because only two colors exist in the picture book, coloring shadows isn't a real possibility. The fact that someone has died disrupts the narrative flow. It's a kind ...

[51st Korea Times Translation Awards] Fiction Grand Prize: Jab
I have an old punching bag. It's about 120 centimeters long and made of genuine cowhide, one of those top-quality bags meant to hang in a boxing studio. I've still got it tied to a branch of the persimmon tree in my backyard. Years of exposure to rain and wind have damaged the bag to the point that one touch might make it puke out all its sand and sawdust filling. I haven't p...

[51st Korea Times Translation Awards] Judges' Report
What a year this has been! The ongoing COVID-19 crisis has ushered in a brave new world we have never experienced before, prompting institutions and individuals alike to rethink their opus operandi. Indeed, this crisis has demanded that we question in a fundamental way our mode of existence -the ways in which we organize space and time and communicate with others. So much has...
