“Possibly the best thing about the whole experience is that Kang and I are now really good friends. It's as much of a pleasure and privilege to know her as a person as it is to translate her work. She's been over for two UK publicity tours, which means lots of time to chat on trains etc., and she was hear all last summer for a writer's residency in Norwich, where I got to meet her son too.” KnowsMeanPersonsTwoWholeLastsPleasureSonSummerTrainPrivilegeBest ThingsEtcTranslateGood FriendPublicityLast SummerReally Good FriendsResidencyNorwich Author:Deborah Smith
“Whenever I visit Korea she [Kang] buys me lunch and takes me to a gallery. As if all this wasn't enough, she has incredible respect for translation as a creative, artistic practice - she insists that each English version is 'our book', offered to share her fees with me when she found out I wasn't getting paid for translating her publicity stuff, always asks the editor to credit me, and does so herself whenever she's interviewed. Too good to be true.” IfsDoeBookEnoughAsksFoundStuffPracticeCreativeSharePaidIncrediblesCreditVersionsBeing TrueArtisticEditorsTake MeLunchTranslateTranslationsKoreaPublicityGalleryFeesCreative ArtToo Good To Be True Author:Deborah Smith
