Man Booker International winners Han Kang & Deborah Smith on The Vegetarian

We were lucky enough to grab a chat with South Korean author Han Kang and her English translator Deborah Smith on the morning after winning the Man Booker International Prize 2016 for 'The Vegetarian', published in the UK by Portobello Books.
Discussing the winning book, the experience of winning the award and the art of translation, this is an insightful and at times touching conversation with the duo behind the UK success of 'The Vegetarian' and 'Human Acts' (also published by Portobello Books).

Thanks to Deborah Smith since when it comes to foreign literature, translation is as important as the original text.

Even though the translation is terrible, if the author approves, then I believe the translation will be successful ~~
