This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Bruce and Ju-Chan Fulton. They speak about Bruce and Ju-Chan’s translation of Kim Soom’s novel One Left, the difficult subject matter of Korean comfort women and how the author deals with this, the lingering emotions of guilt and shame, the challenges of dealing with such intense trauma, the failures of Korean society to assist these women, the translation process for the novel and the complications involved in finding a publisher, the creative choices that Kim Soom made and the extraordinary place that this book holds within the landscape of Korean literature.
