Introducing the novels of author Han Kang, the winner of the "2024 Nobel Prize in Literature." - [The Vegetarian], [Human Acts], [The White Book], [Greek Lessons], [I Do Not Bid Farewell]

This week, Yoojin Grace Wuertz celebrates this year's Nobel Laureate in literature, South Korea's Han Kang; and David Morley reads his new poem, and discusses the link between birds, music and poetry.‘The Vegetarian', ‘Human Acts' and ‘Greek Lessons', by Han Kang‘Beethoven's Yellowhammer', by David MorleyProduced by Charlotte Pardy Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

South Korean writer Han Kang won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday. The Swedish Academy's Nobel Committee said her work “confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.” 韩国作家韩康周四荣获 2024 年诺贝尔文学奖。瑞典学院诺贝尔委员会表示，她的作品“直面历史创伤，暴露了人类生命的脆弱”。 Born in 1970, Han Kang is the first South Korean to win the literature prize. Kang began her career in 1993 with the publication of several poems in Literature and Society. She published her first story in 1995 with Love of Yeosu. 韩康出生于1970年，是第一位获得文学奖的韩国人。康于1993年开始了她的职业生涯，在《文学与社会》上发表了几首诗。1995年，她发表了第一篇小说《丽水之恋》。 In 2016, Kang won the Man Booker International Prize for The Vegetarian. It tells the story of a woman's decision to stop eating meat and her family's worry about her mental health. The novel was the first of her books to be translated into English and was seen as her major international breakthrough. 2016年，康凭借《素食者》获得曼布克国际奖。它讲述了一名女性决定停止吃肉以及家人对她心理健康的担忧的故事。这本小说是她第一本被翻译成英文的书，被视为她在国际上的重大突破。 In a talk with the Booker Prizes, published last year, Kang said the book was written during a difficult period in her life. She questioned whether she could finish the story or even survive as a writer. 在去年出版的布克奖颁奖典礼上，康表示这本书是在她人生的困难时期写成的。她质疑自己能否完成这个故事，甚至能否作为一名作家生存下去。 "I was suffering from severe arthritis…To this day, I feel awkward when I hear about the novel's ‘success,'” she said. “我当时患有严重的关节炎……直到今天，当我听到这部小说的‘成功'时，我都感到很尴尬，”她说。 In the novel Human Acts, Kang explored the 1980 killing of hundreds of students and unarmed civilians by the South Korean military in the city of Gwangju, where she grew up. 在小说《人类的行为》中，康探讨了 1980 年韩国军队在她长大的光州市杀害数百名学生和手无寸铁的平民的事件。 "In seeking to give voice to the victims of history, the book confronts this episode with brutal actualization and, in so doing, approaches the genre of witness literature," the Academy said. 该学院表示：“为了向历史受害者发出声音，这本书以残酷的现实来面对这一事件，并以此接近了见证文学的类型。”Kang is the second South Korean to win a Nobel Prize. Former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2000 for his efforts to restore democracy in the South and improve relations with North Korea. 康是第二位获得诺贝尔奖的韩国人。韩国前总统金大中因其在韩国恢复民主和改善与朝鲜关系的努力而获得2000年诺贝尔和平奖。 The literature prize has long faced criticism that it is too centered on European and North American writings. It has also been awarded mainly to male writers. Kang is only the 18th woman to receive the award among more than 100 winners. 长期以来，文学奖一直面临着过于以欧洲和北美作品为中心的批评。该奖项也主要颁发给男性作家。Kang是100多名获奖者中第18位获得该奖项的女性。 Past winners of the prize include well-known writers like Irish poet W.B. Yeats, American writer Ernest Hemingway and Colombia's Gabriel Garcia Marquez. In 2016, American singer Bob Dylan also received the prize “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition” 该奖项的历届获奖者包括爱尔兰诗人 W.B. 叶芝、美国作家欧内斯特·海明威和哥伦比亚的加布里埃尔·加西亚·马尔克斯。2016年，美国歌手鲍勃·迪伦也因“在伟大的美国歌曲传统中创造了新的诗意表达方式”而获奖。 Mats Malm is Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy. He told reporters, “I was able to talk to Han Kang over the phone. She was having an ordinary day, it seems, she had just finished supper with her son." 马茨·马尔姆 (Mats Malm) 是瑞典学院常务秘书。他告诉记者，“我能够通过电话与韩康交谈。她今天过得很平常，好像刚刚和儿子吃完晚饭。” The prize comes with a money award of $1.1 million. 该奖项奖金为 110 万美元。

Die Suid-Koreaanse skrywer, Han Kang, is die wenner van die Nobelprys vir Letterkunde vir haar intense poëtiese prosa wat geskiedkundige traumas konfronteer en die broosheid van menslike lewe blootlê. Die prysgeld is meer as 19-miljoen Namibiese dollar en sy sal op 10 Desember saam met ander wenners ʼn medalje ontvang. 'n Woordvoerder van die Nobelkomitee, Anders Olsson, sê Kan is bekend vir haar boeke, The Vegetarian en Human Acts, en word wêreldwyd hoog aangeskryf.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we examine the article on the morality of human acts. Fr. Mike unpacks the three “sources” of morality: the object chosen, the end in view or the intention, and the circumstances. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the categories of right or wrong, good or evil. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1749-1761. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we examine the reality of our human freedom in the economy of salvation. Fr. Mike emphasizes that the right to freedom does not imply a right to say or do anything. Rather, it is the power to choose the “right.” He also emphasizes that the moral law actually allows us to live with freedom and joy, and that when we violate the moral law, we violate our own freedom. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1739-1748.

Korea24 – 2020.04.08. (Wednesday) News Briefing: South Korea will temporarily suspend visa-free entry or visa waiver programs on countries that are currently imposing entry bans on South Korea amid the COVID-19 pandemic. (Rosyn Park) In-Depth News Analysis: “Wednesday Election Watch”– Shim Kyu-Seok from the Korea JoongAng Daily is joined by law professors Kim Kee-chang of Korea University and Song Se-ryun of Kyung-hee University. They focus on the Seoul Metropolitan area and discuss key issues and candidates for the upcoming April 15 general elections, just a week away. Korea Trending with Bae Jooyon: South Korea has been receiving requests to donate and export daily necessities around the world as many countries have fallen victim to panic buying, and a televised election debate featuring South Korea's minor parties draws attention as some pledges and promises are quite unique. Korea Book Club: Barry Welsh introduces us to the novel “소년이 온다” (Human Acts) by Han Kang and translated by Deborah Smith.

With a tall glass of cold barley tea in hand, tune in for a conversation about Han Kang's Human Acts as I explore the events of the 1980 Gwangju Uprising. Han's 2014 novel examines humanity's ability for cruelty and kindness, as she attempts to reconcile this paradox. Han Kang's interview with the White Review can be found here. Deborah Smith's essay for Asymptote can be found here. More details on the Gwangju Uprising, Park Chun Hee, Chun Doo Hwan and Park Geun Hye can be found in their respective links.

Crow (rec’d by Chris) QUESTIONS 1. My husband and I always listen to audiobooks on roadtrips. We have a couple long drives coming up in January and February and are looking for some recommendations. We have pretty different tastes, but some crossover. I love literary fiction and shorter fantasy reads. My husband loves high/epic fantasy (he will listen to LOTR and The Hobbit over and over and I don’t love either of those) and really detailed historical fiction. Recent audiobooks we’ve tackled and liked are “Neverwhere” by Neil Gaiman and “The Hazelwood” by Melissa Albert. PS: We already have The Night Country pre-ordered. -Courtney 2. Thank you so much for making this podcast! I’m a new listener so I apologize if this has been addressed in a previous episode. I would love recommendations for novels set during the Vietnam War, especially those that focus on family dynamics and the long-term effects of the war on veterans. -Roxanne 3. I am brand new to the fantasy genre but I just read Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo and loved it! I am looking for more adult fantasy that is more complex and character driven. My preferred genre is definitely literary fiction! -Jessica 4. I would love a book recommendation from you guys, I have been listening to your podcast since my English teacher introduced it to us. She said we could get some extra credit points if we did it and she is running out of recommendations for me. I would really appreciate a recommendation. I LOVE mystery novels and just finished reading The Couple Next Door and am looking for a new book to start reading. I like mystery novels but am not a big fan of lord of the rings or Narnia or other super fantasy books. Some books I have read are This Lie Will Kill You, That’s Not What Happened, In a Dark Dark Wood, and Every Heart a Doorway. Thank you so much for the recommendation!! -Delaney 5. Hello! I am looking for new books, especially book series, to recommend to my Dad. He has just recently gotten really into reading (yay!) and he’s already through most of the books I’ve suggested, so I want to line up some future reads to keep him well stocked! His favorites so far have been Craig Johnson’s Longmire series, William Kent Krueger’s Cork O’Connor series, John Sandford’s Virgil Flowers and Lucas Davenport series, and he’s currently diving into Michael Connolly’s Harry Bosch series. Thanks in advance for your suggestions! P.S. To Kaitlin who was looking for Agatha Christie/Clue read alikes, I would suggest In The Hall With the Knife by Diana Peterfreund. This is the first in a new YA series that was inspired by the game Clue. While not as silly as the movie, the book was was very entertaining and not too dark beyond the obvious murder. -Rachael 6. I am looking for a recommendation that will be immersive and thoughtful. The books I have most enjoyed in the past couple years tend to be written by women, are shamelessly intellectual, and tackle big philosophical/sociological/political questions. Han Kang’s Human Acts, Elif Batuman’s The Idiot, and Rachel Cusk’s Outline Trilogy are examples. I also like mythological retellings that center often un-centered leads like women (Circe by Madeline Miller) or queer characters (Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson). Thanks for your help. -Maria 7. I’d like to find a book that I won’t just finish in two days. I love the Sherlock Holmes books and The Stainless Steel Rat series (science fiction), as well as The Hobbit and Tom Sawyer. I don’t particularly like books with time travel or a lot of magic use. I don’t read as often as I used to because I don’t know where to look for books that I’ll like. -Abby BOOKS DISCUSSED The Binding by Bridget Collins (tw homophobia, rape, child abuse) Witchmark by CL Polk (tw: PTSD, violence towards women & children) The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui The Gentleman Bastards series by Scott Lynch (The Lies of Locke Lamore) The Deep by Rivers Solomon (tw: suicidal ideation, self-harm, slavery) The Lying Room by Nicci French We Were Liars by E.
