Alongside Han Kang, there's only one other author I've chosen to translate so far - Bae Suah.

Her language is simply extraordinary.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

With an abstract idea it is possible to enter into a relation of formal knowledge, to become enthusiastic about it, and perhaps even to put it into practice; but it can never be followed in personal obedience.
