Author Cheon Myeong-Kwan To Present Newly Translated Book At The Seattle Public Library

Bestselling South Korean author Cheon Myeong-Kwan will host an author event at the Central Library on Wednesday, June 7, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Microsoft Auditorium – Level 1.

The event will feature the English-language debut of  book “Whale.” Originally published in 2004, the book is a sweeping, multi-generational tale that blends fable, farce, and fantasy — a masterpiece perfect for fans of “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” The book has also been shortlisted for the Booker Prize.

Registration is required for most events unless otherwise noted. All Library events are free and open to the public.

For additional events, please visit www.spl.org/Calendar. To seek assistance, you can contact the Library’s Ask Us service via phone at 206-386-4636 or through email or chat at www.spl.org/Ask. The staff is readily available to answer your questions and guide you towards valuable resources and information.
