We have compiled a list of three of South Korean author Han Kang’s works for you to read in honor of her winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. Regarding Han Kang’s works, I do not believe they were intended to be taken literally. Despite the fact that some may find her books odd, they ultimately serve as a commentary on society as a whole.

The White Book appears to be a collection of seemingly unrelated short…

Reiterating their call to end the use of nuclear weapons, the leaders of the group of survivors of the atomic bomb who received the Nobel Peace Prize issued a warning on Saturday that the risk of nuclear war was increasing. Shigemitsu Tanaka, co-head of the Nihon Hidankyo organization and a survivor of the US bombing of Nagasaki in 1945, stated, “The international situation is getting progressively worse, and now wars are being waged as countries threaten the use of nuclear weapons.” I worry that humanity is on the verge of self-destruction. Nuclear disarmament is the only way to put an…
