This thread on the military being sent to South Korea’s National Assembly is astounding. (Especially the first hand accounts from special ops). Deep thanks to @antonhur who not only translates literature but newspapers for us.
Oh wow, we already have them.
"We were told it was an operation to fight North Korean infiltrators. But when we got off the bus, we realized we were at the National Assembly."
"We realized the op was against unarmed civilians only when we arrived . . . I am sorry. I feel ashamed."

i hope @antonhur.com doesn't mind me sharing this; he's right, it's way past time for south korea to drop the mandatory conscription of men into military service
the human cost is staggering and can be linked in a lot of ways to so many ills in modern korean society

From previous years, three books I read from the IBP were “The Vegetarian” by Han Kang (she won the Nobel Prize most recently) and “Heaven” by Mieko Kawakami, which I still cannot shake off. Bora Chung’s “Cursed Bunny,” translated by #antonhur, was also great if you’re into speculative fiction.

He’s jealous of the attention I’m about to pay Lee Seong-bok via @AntonHur. He is frequently jealous of the contents of @sublunaryeds packages. Maybe he is their chonky nemesis. (But c’mon Tuft, THIS COVER DESIGN):

@antonhur I know you don’t have your replies on so I just wanted to let you know I finished your book “Toward Eternity” and I want to compliment you on the most intensely dense world building within a singular first chapter that I’ve ever experienced. Also, your S. Korean politics coverage is peak.
