![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.](/assets/img/quote-photos/whenever-i-visit-korea-she-kang-buys-me-lunch-and-takes-me-to-a-gallery-as-if.jpg)
