I Have the Right to Destroy Myself by Young-Ha Kim
That's a pretty provocative title. Reading the cover jacket, I Have the Right to Destroy Myself sounds like it will be a shorter, more Korean version of a Haruki Murakami novel: Le Monde described it as a "novel about Love and Death in Seoul," and Der Tagesspiegel described it as "slick, and heavily under American influence." I don't know anything about Korean literature, so I bought the most recent critically acclaimed book about Seoul that I could find.
Overall, they had a good selection of English-language books. I saw recent critically acclaimed books in fiction and nonfiction, including some of my favorites.
