han river book. it's not in "neighborhood bookstore"? [anchor report]

I'm sure many of you have ordered books by Han Kang, which became a hot topic after Han Kang won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

By the way, there seems to be a lack of books by Han Kang in small bookstores across the country.

The National Neighborhood Bookstore Network, a coalition of small bookstores across the country, issued this statement the day before yesterday:
It is argued that
'equal and prompt supply of books should be made' and 'the deformed distribution structure should be corrected for a win-win publishing culture.'
Small bookstores across the country are now relying on large wholesalers such as Kyobo Bookstore
Due to the surge in book orders from author
Han Kang, large wholesalers stopped wholesale and monopolized book sales only at their own retail stores.

Naturally, the supply and demand of books from small bookstores could not have been smooth.

In the wake of the controversy, Kyobo Bookstore said it would limit its store supply and distribute the rest to the region, but
The voices of local bookstores calling for fundamental distribution structure innovation
remain.

In the midst of this, the related controversy was dealt with at the National Assembly of the Board of Education yesterday in the representative work of Han Kang, "The Vegetarian." Let's listen for a moment.

Even among parents, claims that it is a "hazardous media for youth" continue to be raised.

The National Association of Parents' Associations takes issue with the scenes of sexual activity and self-harm described in the 'vegetarian',

"We intend to keep books with extreme and violent content in the school library because they are the works of Nobel Prize writers," he said, insisting on not having a library.

Controversy surrounding vegetarians What are your thoughts on the controversy over whether it should be left to the autonomous judgment of adolescents, no, it should not be read?
