Having read a pretty hostile review in (if I remember right, of all places) LTI Korea’s own magazine, and having been bemused by her Waxen Wings in another collection, I was expecting to find it hard going. Just shows how one should try to keep an open mind when opening the cover for the first time…

That’s an impressive list! Most of them have already made it to my TBR. I’m really interested in reading The Plotters, Mouthful of Birds, Arid Dreams, Charcoal Boys, Tokyo Uneo Station, Accomodations and Fu Ping. Thank you so much for introducing this list for upcoming translated novels without which I’d have never had the chance to know about such wonderful literature across the globe.
