With the news of the Han River's Nobel Prize in Literature, the so-called "Han River craze" is blowing in American bookstores.

Four of Amazon's top 10 best-selling books in literature, the largest e-commerce platform in the U.S., are filled with Han Kang's works.

As of the 11th (local time), the bestsellers in Amazon literature are all Han Kang's works.

The first place is a "vegetarian" paper book (paperback), the second place is a "vegetarian" audiobook, the fourth place is a "boy is coming" paper book, and the seventh place is a "vegetarian" e-book. In particular, the "vegetarian" e-book ranked seventh in the overall bestseller list.

Meanwhile, Amazon accounts for more than 50% of the U.S. book market. In particular, it has an e-book share of more than 80% in the U.S. book market, where e-book sales are more than half. As such, it is evaluated as best reflecting the interests of American readers in real time.
