Can't Find My Way Home...

A City of Han - Episode 6 with Sollee Bae and Ron Bandun


Listen Later

In Episode 6, I spoke with 2 guests from Seoul, South Korea. about the 'A City of Han' project.

Sollee Bae is the editor of 'A City of Han', as well as the founder and organizer of 'Fiction Writers in Seoul'. Joining Sollee, was Ron Bandun, one of the contributing authors to the project. Ron also writes a column for the Korea Times.

A City of Han is a collection of short stories inspired by Seoul and other cities in South Korea. As the sleeve suggests, "there are three things a great city inspires: Romance, Music and Stories." The stories were written by expat writers in South Korea.

We get into how the project came together, some of the locations in and around my old stomping ground in Seoul, and themes within the anthology such as social hierarchy and the pressure to fit in.  We also discuss 'urban exploring' and whether South Korean literature can rival the success of K-Pop and Korean cinema.

Of course, there's also the Top 5 with both a musical and literary twist.

A City of Han is released on April 16th 2020 and published by FWS Publishing. It will be available on Amazon and select bookstores across South Korea.
