Translating art is difficult, complex work – especially when it’s Korean comic books GlobeArts

The book derives from the testimony of Granny Lee Ok-sun, a stoic survivor who tells cartoonist Gendry-Kim about her childhood poverty in Busan, her wartime abduction to an Imperial outpost in China, and her late-in-life repatriation to Seoul, where she continues to speak out about the violations she and others like her endured.

To render these words into English, Vancouver translator Janet Hong brings an attentive ear, sensitive to what remains unspoken.
