“The literature and culture of the tense Korean peninsula will be the main focus of this year’s Frankfurt Book Fair, the world’s largest such event,” organizers announced yesterday. As an Associated Press wire story by Matt Moore details, that “focus” will include not only Korean publishers as well as 30 Korean authors, but also “theater and dance performances, symposia and a Korean garden,” and “films, photo exhibits and seminars from Korea that focus on its past, present and future.” However, fair president Juergen Boos said that although both North and South Korea will be featured, “efforts to bring North Korean writers and officials to the fair were unsuccessful.”
