"2021 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER FOR TRANSLATED LITERATURE As if Marguerite Duras wrote Convenience Store Woman—a beautiful, unexpected novel from a debut French Korean author It's winter in Sokcho, a tourist town on the border between South and North Korea. The cold slows everything down. Bodies are red and raw, the fish turn venomous, beyond the beach guns point out from the North's watchtowers. A young French Korean woman works as a receptionist in a tired guesthouse. One evening, an unexpected guest arrives: a French cartoonist determined to find inspiration in this desolate landscape. The two form an uneasy relationship. When she agrees to accompany him on trips to discover an 'authentic' Korea, they visit snowy mountaintops and dramatic waterfalls, and cross into North Korea. But he takes no interest in the Sokcho she knows—the gaudy neon lights, the scars of war, the fish market where her mother works. As she's pulled into his vision and taken in by his drawings, she strikes upon a way to finally be seen. An exquisitely-crafted debut, which won the Prix Robert Walser, Winter in Sokcho is a novel about shared identities and divided selves, vision and blindness, intimacy and alienation. Elisa Shua Dusapin's voice is distinctive and unmistakable."

Starry Field: A Memoir of Lost History

"As a young girl growing up in Houston, Margaret Juhae Lee never heard about her grandfather, Lee Chul Ha. His history was lost in early twentieth-century Korea, and guarded by Margaret's grandmother, who Chul Ha left widowed in 1936 with two young sons. To his surviving family, Lee Chul Ha was a criminal, and his granddaughter was determined to figure out why. Starry Field chronicles Chul Ha's untold story. Combining investigative journalism, oral history, and archival research, Margaret reveals the truth about the grandfather she never knew. What she found is that Lee Chul Ha was not a source of shame; he was a student revolutionary imprisoned in 1929 for protesting the Japanese government's colonization of Korea. He was a hero—and eventually honored as a Patriot of South Korea almost 60 years after his death. It is through the series of three interviews with her grandmother that Margaret finally finds a sense of recognition she's been missing. A story of healing old wounds and the reputation of an extraordinary young man, Starry Field bridges the tales of two women. Starry Field weaves together the stories of Margaret's family against the backdrop of Korea's tumultuous modern history, with a powerful question at its heart. Can we ever separate ourselves from our family's past—and if the answer is yes, should we?"

Youth

"They say youth is fleeting, but what if you could fake it for a little while longer—even forever? It's possible thanks to the Crown Serum. As the twentieth anniversary for the world's only legitimate wrinkle wonder cure approaches, newspaper reporter Goldie Hays lands an interview with its elusive maker, Sarah Crown. Too bad Goldie's dealing with a broken heart at the same time. And to think, it was only a month ago on her fortieth birthday that she was saying 'I love you' for the first time to her much younger boyfriend. Teo Estrada is passionate, gorgeous, and geeky like her—everything she's longed for. But Teo has a secret that jeopardizes their relationship, and when Sarah dangles the scoop of the century and a chance for the reporter to tell her own story, Goldie must examine her attitudes on aging and reshape the future she always hoped for herself. Youth is a funny, poignant romance set in a world where the mythical fountain of youth is a modern reality. Featuring a twist worthy of a Korean drama, this standalone story celebrates diversity, inclusivity, and love at any age. Author’s note: Youth is a low-spice adult romance, sweet but full of swearing. Mostly lighthearted but with discussion of losing a parent, grief, and addiction. The main pair is m/f with a side m/m romance and queer identities. Third-person present tense and four POVs performed in dual narration style. "

So when the Julia Song-his childhood crush-asks for his help, it may be just the distraction he needs. He'll do whatever it takes, even coach her for these three dates. Problem is, the more time they spend together and the closer they get, the more Tae wonders if anyone is good enough for Julia…including him. "

A CRIMEREADS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Jae-Young has just left everything she's ever known, not that it was much: her thankless job, her infested apartment, and her abusive boyfriend-who happens to be dead on the kitchen floor. Murder was never the way she envisioned leaving, but times were desperate. Now on a train to the bustling city of Seoul, Jae-Young is hoping to escape her transgressions and just become invisible-safe. On the train, she meets a chatty mother fleeing with her infant son from an unfaithful husband and hoping to find refuge with the in-laws she's never met. To avoid further conversation, Jae-Young excuses herself for a moment. When she returns, the woman is nowhere to be found. But her crying child remains with a note, pleading with Jae-Young to take him to his father's family in a remote province far from Seoul. It's not an ideal pit stop, but for the sake of the child, she can't ignore the request. When Jae-Young arrives, the house takes her by surprise. It's a gated manor oozing with opulence and the finest luxuries-the kind of place she could only dream of setting foot in. What's more, the family assumes Jae-Young is their daughter-in-law and invites her to stay. She imagines an easy life in their care, free of worry and fear. And Jae-Young realizes: There's nothing more invisible than becoming someone else. But both women have ghosts in their pasts. Though unaware of the rot lurking beneath the shiny veneer of her new life, Jae-Young will do whatever it takes to make sure she never goes back."
