[Brother Anthony]

1. I have a feeling that there must have been more publications of 
English translations of Korean literature in the last 2 years than those 
I have seen. Here is my list. PLEASE tell me if I have missed something. 
The fact that most of the books are poetry is especially problematic in 
the eyes of Korea's cultural authorities, in view of the greater 
popularity / significance of fiction in today's world. It's partly my 
fault, I fear . . . (List from
