Hi Readers! Another month gone by swiftly. It was a gruelling one, with too many unknowns. There wasn’t a lot happening on the surface, but deep down, it was a Tsunami. But, I feel like you always need months like that to shake your entire belief system, make you...

Hi Readers! I recently read Counterattacks at Thirty by Sohn won-pyung, translated from Korean by Sean Lin Halbert. I had read the author’s debut novel Almond last year and really liked it.
