SUMMARY:SIWA Monthly Book Club: A DISTANT & BEAUTIFUL PLACE  by Yang Kwija
DESCRIPTION:Our Book Club is coming to the last piece  of 1 year’s reading list and what would be a better ending than a collection of interconnected short stories from none other than the place we all call home\, Seoul\, South Korea. Written by Korea’s most cherished and respected author\, this book is set up in a distant and beautiful neighborhood of Wonmi-dong before the country was democratized in 1987. From the lightning speed of industrialization and economic development in the 1980s\, these stories capture Korea in its transformation to modernity with its characters striving for a successful and a better life. Each story is  unique in their own way and yet form together a captivating novel as a whole. \nShort story names: \n\nA Distant and Beautiful Place (멀고 아름다운 동네)\nThe Spark (불씨)\nThe Last Land (마지막 땅)\nThe Wonmi-dong Poet (원미동 시인)\nA Vagabond Mouse (한 마리의 나그네 쥐)\nOn Rainy Days I Have To Go to Karing-dong (비오는 날이면 가리봉동에 가야 한다)\nBellfinch (방울새)\nThe Tearoom Woman (찻집 여자)\nOur Daily Bread (일용할 양식)\nThe Underground Man (지하 생활자)\nCold Water Pass (한계령)\n\nJoin us this October to discuss this book and learn more about the life of people in this city in the era of 1980’s and to shape our future in this city.
