NOTE: All the links on this site have gone to hell as Changbi changed all its author URL’s without the slightest thought of including redirects – unbelievably poor web-work!
Changbi Publishers have a really great English site overall (although its dependence on Flash is a “grrrrrrrr” inducing nightmare that, for instance, stops you from opening links in new tabs or windows. Really, Korean webmasters.. why???) and one of the totally cool things about it is that it has a page that links to a variety of really cool articles, stories and essays. I’m not linking that page, because I have the articles linked below.
Changbi also gives the Manhae Prize for Literature (although it does not seem to have been given recently?) as well as several other prizes.
Neatly, they also have a page of all their translations (into many languages, on of the the least of which seems to be English, but still some really good stuff!).
In any case .. it’s totally worth looking into and the links to its essays/stories/transcripts are below (How Cool! Ha Seongnan’s “The Stain” available online!
