The English translation of Han Kang’s latest novel, We Do Not Part, arrived in the US on Jan 21, with a British version released last Thursday. Translated by E. Yaewon and Paige Aniyah Morris, the novel is the Nobel laureate’s most recent work, originally published in Korean in September 2021.

Han, who won the 2016 International Booker Prize for The Vegetarian (2007) and was shortlisted again in 2018 for The White Book (2016), released We Do Not Part five years later.
