Publisher Hank Kim says he often feels like Don Quixote, the famous fictional Spaniard with reckless enthusiasm and big dreams.
“It’s to dream the impossible dream,” he says.
Kim quit his reporting job at Yonhap News Agency to start a bookstore and a publishing house, Seoul Selection, in 2002, and devote himself to promoting Korean culture in the English language.
And the 51-year-old is dreaming the seemingly impossible in Korea’s publishing industry, where the number of English-language books published by local companies is not even counted by the nation’s largest book retailer.
