For That Which Cannot Be Restored (IYAGI 4)

Book 4 of Strangers Press' chapbook series, IYAGI.

"I simply shrugged at her like a westerner, which did nothing to temper the bottled-up shame and simmering anger within me."

A cranky woman of letters ends up investigating after a story submitted for a writing competition at a government sponsored magazine is pulled from publication by its author, and in doing so finds a story of her own.

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.
