Nobel Prize-winning author Han Kang participated in the 'Dialogue with the Author' event at the 80th Avignon Theatre Festival, revealing his literary philosophy. He does not distinguish between political writing and introspective writing, emphasizing that his works based on Korean history also explore universal human experiences. He also pointed out that literature gives readers a vivid sense of life and guides them to move forward in life even in despair. Han Kang is currently working on a new novel, and 'Bookstore Today', an independent bookstore he opened in 2018, closed its doors due to the sale of the building.
