Light and Thread

諾貝爾文學獎得主韓江首部英文出版的非虛構作品問世——這是一部獨特的文集，收錄了她啟發人心的諾貝爾獎得獎感言。

《Literary Hub》與《Electric Lit》年度最受期待書籍

在這部充滿光亮且多面性的著作中，韓江編織了她的作品與生活之繭，透過一系列散文、詩歌、攝影和日記，追溯內心與外部世界的連結。本書由 Maya West、e. yaewon 與 Paige Aniyah Morris 精湛翻譯。

這是一本關於反思、言語與光譜的書。其核心靈魂源自她家中那片微小、面北的院子；在那裡，她必須隨著地球自轉，整日移動鏡子，僅靠反射的陽光來耕耘園地。

在八歲寫的一首詩中，韓江想像了一條連結彼此的「金線」——她在此書中以明亮細緻的筆觸探索這個概念，並以諾貝爾講稿作為開端。她描繪了追隨名為「語言」的線索、進入他人心靈深處的奇蹟，以及那股將作者與讀者緊密相連的深刻電流。

《光與線》（Light and Thread）既親密又具啟發性，是獻給所有鍾愛韓江獨特作品讀者的必讀之作。

From Nobel Prize winner Han Kang comes her first work of nonfiction published in English—a singular collection of writings including her inspiring Nobel Lecture.

A LITERARY HUB AND ELECTRIC LIT MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR

In this light-filled and multi-faceted book, Han Kang draws together the threads of her work and life, tracing the connections between her interior and exterior worlds through a sequence of essays, poems, photographs, and diaries, brilliantly translated by Maya West and e. yaewon & Paige Aniyah Morris.

A book of reflections, of words and light, it has at its heart the tiny, north-facing courtyard garden at her home, cultivated solely through the reflected sunlight of the mirrors which she must move throughout the day, as the earth turns on its axis.

In a poem written at eight years old, Han Kang imagined a “gold thread” of connection—an idea which she explores here with luminous attention, beginning with her Nobel Lecture. She writes of the wonder of following the thread we call language into the depths of other hearts, and her profound sense of an electric current which joins writer and reader.

Both intimate and illuminating, Light and Thread is a book for all readers of Han Kang’s unique body of work.
