On this episode we discuss our March 2024 book club pick, Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop (https://bookshop.org/p/books/welcome-...) by Hwang Bo-Reum & translated by Shanna Tan, a story about a woman who leaves her unfulfilling life in the city to start up an independent bookstore in a small neighborhood. We dive into the book's themes as the owner, workers, and customers of the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop all search for their purpose in life, and how the answers clash with what society tells them what success is supposed to look like.
