Announcement<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Dear members of the KS list,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On behalf of Academia Koreana, the Korean studies research institute of
Keimyung University, I would like to announce the recent publication of
<EM>Waxen Wings: The</EM> Acta Koreana <EM>Anthology of Short Fiction from
Korea</EM>, edited by Bruce Fulton and published in the United States by Koryo
Press.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The following is a short extract from the editor's introduction:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The short story has been the genre of choice for writers of literary
fiction in modern Korea and it continues to thrive in the new millennium.
<EM>Waxen Wings: The</EM> Acta Koreana <EM>Anthology of Short Fiction from
Korea</EM> offers a diverse sampling from a century of modern Korean short
fiction, beginning with stories from two early masters (Yi Hyosŏk and Ch'ae
Manshik) and ending with works by four of the most imaginative contemporary
writers (Kim Yŏngha, Ha Sŏngnan, P'yŏn Hyeyŏng, and Kim Chunghyŏk). In between
are the two writers who are primarily responsible for the visibility enjoyed by
Korean women fiction writers today (O Chŏnghŭi and Pak Wansŏ), and a writer, Kim
Wŏnil, who has made it his lifework to address the territorial and spiritual
division of the Korean peninsula. The title of the anthology, from Ha Sŏngnan's
1999 story, suggests the transcendental qualities of the finest Korean short
fiction. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The book can be purchased on-line from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best wishes,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
