translated by Sunme Yoon
I never heard about this writer until she won last year’s Nobel Prize in Literature. I certainly didn’t expect to see any of her books in our library. And there it was, on the New Arrivals shelf by the entrance to the reading room. I picked it up to leaf through. Suddenly, a middle-aged man, who also was browsing next to me, said: “It’s a good book. Take it.”
“Have you read it?” I asked, a bit suspiciously. I am not used to strangers giving me reading advice.
“Yes. It’s great.”
And he was absolutely right. It’s a beautiful novel.
I read Greek Lessons in Spanish translation. I hope the English one is equally good.
