Shocked and saddened by the passing of David Lynch. Despite his old age and a lifetime of smoking, I somehow always regarded him as an eternal alchemist that would live forever. Rest in peace? Sounds too boring for him. I wish him adventurous travels to the world beyond. 🖤

If you see this, repost with the first kdrama you watched. For me, as for many army's, it was Hwarang. Little did I know, it would make me a K-drama-holic with now more than 120+ series watched.... 🙈

That's a wrap on THAT SUMMER'S END by Lee Seong-bok, a collection of poems on love and suffering (very Seon Buddhist), recently made popular by RM of BTS, set to be released by Knopf in 2026 ✨ This is my first book translation of Korean poetry into English (I've done Ocean Vuong from Eng to Kor).

Travel diary Korea: Day 8 Finally made it to Starfield Library! I've seen a million pictures of it through the years, so it was fun to be there in person. But how anyone can focus well enough to actually read a book in such a hectic place remains a mystery. 😅

Travel diary Korea: Day 1 My first ever Bungeo-ppang! It was less sweet than I expected, perfectly positioned in between food and dessert - crispy, slightly fluffy, filled with hot, red bean paste. Eaten hot, straight from the vendor, how can it not be great!?
