Korean fiction translated by Brother Anthony
available online
The page listing my
published translations has become very large and perhaps
difficult to navigate in a hurry. If you are looking for some
Korean fiction to read online, this might be more
helpful. All the translations are by Brother Anthony of Taize
(An Sonjae) and Copyright belongs to me. These translations
may not be published elsewhere without my permission.
