'Light and thread' is a collection of prose introduced by the Han River for the first time in 16 years. It has been a long time since the previously out-of-print 'Songs' (2007) and 'Love, Things Surrounding Love' (2009) have been met with readers through prose. In particular, this is the first book published by Han Kang since he won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and it has been receiving hot attention even before its publication.
'Light and Thread' is presented as a prose series of literature and intellectual history 'Moonji Ekri', and contains life, love, and memories in a lyrical style unique to Han Kang. In addition to the Nobel Prize-winning lecture, 「Light and Thread」, unpublished poems, prose, garden diaries, and photographs taken by the author are included, providing a multi-layered view of the literary world of the Han River.
Yes24 is holding a brand exhibition to present free gifts such as questionnaires when purchasing more than 20,000 won in the Moonji Ekrie series book to commemorate the publication of 'Light and Thread'. The series also includes collections of prose by poet Kim Hye-soon and late professor Kim Hyun.
Yes24 Chosun Young, the head of the book business division, said "I hope that through Han Kang's new prose, it will be an experience of facing the inner side along the thread of language"
