Recent/Forthcoming Publications

The front cover of the English translation of Djuna's novel Not Yet Gods. Against a black background, a strange composite figure made out of what seem to be squashed human faces form a tall structure, with the words Not Yet Gods displayed beside it, and the author and translator credits at the bottom.

New! South Korean SF author Djuna's Not Yet Gods in a new English translation by Jihyun Park and me, coming soon (2026) from Kaya Press. Click here to visit the Kaya webpage for the book and order it from the publisher, or get it on Amazon (in the US) or at Aladin (in Korea)!

A document cover that, in an old-fashioned font, announces the same title as the text above.

    We wrapped up with Mythic Bastionland on Sunday, so this will be the final post for the campaign, including a short epilogue based on what players said their characters would do in the aftermath:

    This article's about a monastery where a robot was accepted as a Buddhist, and will be an honorary monk for the Buddha's Birthday holiday this year. Looks like Park Seonghwan's classic story "Readymade Bodhisattva" (kind of) happened sooner than expected.
