Critics Review
[This book] suggests that finding daily satisfaction is itself a serious job … Hwang explores how a person might choose to counter workism without rejecting work entirely, and how a meaningful life might be built by applying oneself to even the most pleasurable pastimes. * The Atlantic on WELCOME TO THE HYUNAM-DONG BOOKSHOP *A real love letter to reading … wonderful. * Good Housekeeping on WELCOME TO THE HYUNAM-DONG BOOKSHOP *I may have found my ideal bookshop book when I read Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop. What sets Hyunam-Dong apart is how much it reveals about getting a store up and running … By the end of Hyunam-Dong, [Yeongju] has encountered enough surprises to figure out that bookshops—and love—rarely go by the book. * The Minneapolis Star-Tribune on WELCOME TO THE HYUNAM-DONG BOOKSHOP *Hwang Bo-Reum’s debut novel took South Korea by storm for its refreshing positivity and rejection of hypercapitalism … Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop was indeed a welcome break from the faster-paced and heavier books on my reading list—the perfect book to read while curled up in a comfy chair with a cup of coffee on a lazy Sunday. * Readers Digest, “41 Asian and Asian American Books Everyone Should Read” on WELCOME TO THE HYUNAM-DONG BOOKSHOP *
