"Kim Ji-young, born in 1982", by Cho Nam-joo

This is a literary journey without borders. Each episode I explore a work, an author or a literary movement from different corners of the planet. Because books are also passports, and each story brings us closer to different cultures, languages and realities.

The book was published in Koren in 2016 by Minumsa and has sold over one million copies as of November 27, 2018, becoming the first Korean novel to sell one million copies since Shin Kyung-sook's "Please Take Care of Mom" in 2009.
