I hope everyone reads the extraordinary YA classic “How Do You Live?” By Genzaburo Yoshino with a great foreword by @neilhimself —The novel was a favorite book of filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki (“Princess Mononoke”, “Spirited Away” & “Totoro”) when he was a boy, & he is now adapting. https://twitter.com/nypl/status/1540007097097752577

*Squid Game* is an allegory of extreme capitalism. This survivor drama is also a classic Romance, a hero's quest, resonant of Roald Dahl's *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* as well as the search of Diogenes. We relate to these narratives, because we yearn for moral decency.

Her Majesty Queen Camilla read my second novel. 😭 Profoundly honoured (British spelling). Still in London, researching and interviewing for the revision of my third novel, American Hagwon. Her Majesty’s generous remarks feel like a miracle. Grateful.

Han Kang is a remarkable novelist who reflects our modern condition with courage, imagination, and keen intelligence. She is profoundly worthy of this global recognition. I hope more readers discover and admire “Human Acts.” I reviewed it for “The New York Review of Books” in 2018. 🇰🇷
