The Seoul Outdoor Library will feature a special focus on Irish literature this Friday and Saturday.
From 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., a special Irish-themed booth will be open at Seoul Plaza, with an Irish step dancing performance at the plaza at 6 p.m. on Friday.
From 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, a "Meet the Authors" session will be held on the first floor of the Seoul Metropolitan Library in Jung-gu.
Three writers from Dublin -- Anne Griffin, Sinead Gleeson and Ronan Hession -- will discuss the art of writing and the themes of their books, as well as hold special readings of their works.
Three separate seminars are scheduled afterward: English-to-Korean translator Ho Gene will discuss the art and challenges of translation; Choi Seok-moo, head of the James Joyce Society of Korea, will explore the life of Irish novelist, poet and literary critic James Joyce; and Peter McAuley, a professor at Korea University, will talk about Ireland’s literary revival and its connection to independence.
