I dedicated my final Korea24 book review to my mom with a review of Cho Hye-jin’s “Passing By Winter.” It’s a book about mothers, daughters, grief, endings and beginnings. I highly recommend it for those looking for warmth this winter. Listen here! https://t.co/kj33jl35Hh

My final book pick of 2023 was the electrically intense novella "Shatter" by Gu Byeong-mo ("파쇄," 구병모 저). For fans of "The Old Woman With The Knife," this is a prologue to how the 65-year-old female assassin Hornclaw came to be. Listen here: https://t.co/Gm4uRg5YF9

[KBS Korea 24 @KBSKorea24]

On our final #KoreaBookClub of 2023, @BethEunheeHong discusses Gu Byeong-mo's “파쇄”, which can be can be translated to “Shatter”. The prequel to “The Old Woman with the Knife” revolves around a woman named Hornclaw who trains to become an assassin. #구병모 #파쇄

Thrilled and honored that FLOWERS OF FIRE has been named one of the best books of 2023 by @theeconomist magazine. I hope that the selection will bring the story of South Korean women -- and their fights for gender equality -- to more people.

A stoner coming-of-age novel that tackles the hungry ghosts within us — the chaotic culturally bifurcated Korean diaspora — and of our family lineages. Let the communion begin 🙏🇰🇷🌎
