LBF event 4 Mar: Books on Screen — The Road to Sampo

The first of the KCC’s Korean Literature on Screen events. The Hwang Sok-yong short story on which it is based is pretty hard to find in translation. It’s part of a collection published by Heinemann Asia in the 1980s, logged on Brother Anthony’s site here, and available on Amazon for the princely sum of £112.14. Surely it’s about time that the story was republished somewhere.

As usual, pre-registration is required via the KCC website.
