SUMMARY:AUTHOR EVENT: Park Seolyeon with Anton Hur 'Capitalists Must Starve'
DESCRIPTION:House of Books & Friends is excited to welcome Park Seolyeon to the store on 27th October at 6pm to discuss her new book\, Capitalists Must Starve. Seolyeon will be joined by her translator Anton Hur\, translator of Seolyeon’s previous translated title\, A Magical Girl Retires.

Please contact us directly at bookworms@houseofbooksandfriends.pro or call 07597365380. \nAbout the book \nWinner of Hankyoreh Literature Award  \nSet against the backdrop of Japanese-occupied Korea\, Capitalists Must Starve follows a sharp-tongued\, big-hearted heroine who dares to love\, rebel\, and carve out space for working-class women in a world determined to silence them. Echoing the unflinching narratives of Alias Grace and the sweeping historical vision of Pachinko\, this feminist historical novel balances raw grit with unexpected tenderness and a defiant streak of dark humour. \nA stirring portrait of resistance from below: fierce\, funny\, and full of fight. \nAbout Park Seolyeon \nBorn in 1989 in Cherwon\, Park Seolyeon made her debut winning the Silcheon Munhak New Writers Prize in 2015 for her short story “Mickey Mouse Club.” Her books include the novels The Job of Marta\, The Shirley Club\, A Magical Girl Retires\, Project V and Capitalists Must Starve\, which won the 2018 Hankyoreh Literature Prize\, as well as the story collections My Hormones Made Me Do It\, Your Mom’s the Better Player\, and Me\, Me\, Madeline. Her stories have been translated into Japanese\, French\, German\, and English. She lives in Seoul\, South Korea. \nAbout Anton Hur \nAnton Hur was born in Stockholm. He is the author of Toward Eternity and has been nominated for the International Booker Prize\, the National Book Award\, the National Book Critics Circle Award\, and the Dublin Literary Award for his various translations including Love in the Big City by Sang Young Park and A Magical Girl Retires by Park Seolyeon.
