[New Releases] 'Eumye Praise' · 'I Feel Like Becoming' · 'Opening the Night'

◆Praise of Music and Art=An essay about the author's artistic journey and his favorite clothing and food. It offers a detailed glimpse into childhood memories, clothing, and culinary interests, which are major motifs in his literary world. Departing from the naturalism that dominated the contemporary Japanese literary scene, the enjoyment of the story takes precedence. Wrapped in an original writing style, it allows readers to savor the profound realm of Japanese literature. (Written by Junichiro Tanizaki / Translated by Kim Bo-kyung / Minumsa)

◆I Feel Like Becoming= A poem distinguished by a unique perspective and profound reflection. It recalls twisted years and misaligned time based on the concreteness of life. It reveals the essence of social structures hidden behind appearances. Rejecting familiar grammar, it twists active language. It freely employs extremely passive language, expressing skepticism about the agency of existence. (Written by Lee Young-jae / Changbi)

◆Opening the Night= A novel dealing with the unrest of European youth who released moral tension after World War I. The skill of condensing several people into one and drawing out the intersection of that era is excellent. It freely utilizes prejudices about nationality, territory, and the people raised there. Shedding light on diverse eyes, it points to hope and nature that seem visible yet elusive. (Written by Paul Morand / Translated by Im Myung-ju / Minumsa)
