🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Gu Byeong-mo
She has her own writing rule: go into a scene, whether it’s love or action, with as much detail as you want. Gu’s debut novel “Wizard Bakery” mixes fantasy, mystery, and horror. It is the very first young adult novel in South Korea that employs magic as a major plot device, which breaks the convention of the genre to deal solely with realistic settings. The judges of the Changbi Prize for Young Adult Fiction chose it as its winner because it’s a fantastical allegory which deviates from the standard coming-of-age tale set in schools. When she started writing “The Old Woman with the Knife” in 2012, she never set out to write a novel about feminism.
