They've announced that Shin Kyung-sook's Please Look After Mom (UK title, sigh: Please Look After Mother) has won the Man Asian Literary Prize.
It wouldn't have been my choice, but at least it will help get more of her fiction translated into English, which I look forward to (pretty much everything that she's written sounds more interesting than this one). Good timing with the paperback releases, too: the UK edition is just out, the US edition due in two weeks.
