Thanks to the efforts of foreign publishers and scholars, more Korean literary writings are available in various languages.
Last year, the Literature Translation Institute (LTI) of Korea began recognizing their contributions to raising the awareness of Korean literature with the LTI Korea Distinguished Service Award. This year’s award ceremony will take place on June 20.
Among numerous foreign publishers and scholars, the LTI has selected three winners from each language area — The Dalkey Archive Press (John O’Brien) for English, Adelaida F. Trotsevich for Russian and Argo (Milan Gelnar) for Czech.
The winners have been selected by the LTI’s judges, including Choe Yun, a professor of French literature at Sogang University, and poet Shin Dal-ja.
