'2024 Nobel Literature Prize Han Kang Special Exhibition' at Gyeonggi Northern Provincial Office

Celebrating Korea's First Nobel Literature Prize Winner... 'Time with Books' Event Held at Gyeonggi Peace Square Book Cafe from 21st to November 30th

The Bukbu Office of Gyeonggi Provincial Government's Gyeonggi Peace Plaza Book Cafe will hold the "2024 Nobel Prize in Literature Han Kang - Special Exhibition" commemorating author Han Kang's Nobel Prize in Literature from the 21st to November 30th, for about a month at the Plaza Book Cafe.

The Bukbu Office of Gyeonggi Provincial Government's Gyeonggi Peace Plaza Book Cafe announced on the 18th that it will hold the "2024 Nobel Prize in Literature Han Kang - Special Exhibition" from the 21st to November 30th, for about a month, at the Plaza Book Cafe to commemorate author Han Kang's Nobel Prize in Literature award.

The special exhibition was prepared to provide many residents with the opportunity to encounter Han Kang's major works, considering that the author's key books have become unavailable for loan or difficult to supply due to the Nobel Prize award.

The special exhibition features a total of 70 copies of 7 titles including The Vegetarian, Human Acts, Never Let Me Go, Greek Lessons, Evening in the Drawer, The Essential: Han Kang, and The Wind Blows, Go Away.

Byun Sang-gi, Administrative Management Officer of Gyeonggi Province, said, “The Gyeonggi Peace Plaza Book Cafe operates as a space where knowledge and arts culture coexist in northern Gyeonggi. This special exhibition is an occasion to share and commemorate the significance of the Nobel Prize in Literature, and we will strive to enable all residents to participate in the culture of reading.”

Meanwhile, the books displayed in the special exhibition are restricted from being borrowed during the exhibition period and can only be read within the Plaza Book Cafe. The province plans to add more Han Kang-related works considering residents’ demand and publishing circumstances.

Detailed information about the exhibition and how to use the Book Cafe can be found on the Gyeonggi Peace Plaza Book Cafe website.
