The Greatest Gamble On Earth (IYAGI 5)

Book 5 of Stranger Press' IYAGI chapbook series.

"If I had to choose the richest person whom I would call a friend, I would pick Han Seung-hui."

A reconnection with an old friend leads to an intriguing party invite with surprising results and, through this simple tale and the progress of a single relationship, but from separate and very different worlds, a deeper story is told of contemporary society and class.

IYAGI (이야기) means 'story' in Korean - so you can see why we thought our latest set of short stories, from South Korea, should be given that name! And, as ever, we have worked with a supremely talented collection of translators - both established and up-and-coming - from around the globe to bring you an inspired selection for your literary enjoyment. Each of these stories tells multiple stories at the same time, many of them layered or wryly ironic, all of them hugely enjoyable and carefully presented in exquisitely designed chapbook form as a kind of literary tapas banquet for you to get your reading chops into.
