3월 8일 세계 여성의 날을 기념하기 위해, 코리아 헤럴드 팟캐스트의 특별 북리뷰 편을 기획했습니다. 유명 한국 여성 작가들의 작품 모음 중 세 가지 이야기를 뽑아서 리뷰를 하려고 합니다.   "The Future of Silence: Fiction by Korean Women”'은 1970년대부터 2010년대까지 약 50년에 걸쳐 9편의 단편소설을 Ju-chan Fulton 와 Bruce Fulton 이 편집·번역했습니다. 이번 편에서는 카피 에디터인 Beth Eunhee Hong와 Naomi Ng이 박완서의 '닮은 방들'(1974), 오정희의 '순례자의 노래'(1983), 김지원의 '알마덴'(1988년)에 대해 토론합니다. Beth와 Naomi는 이 단편소설들이 현재 한국 사회의 더 넓은 주제들을 어떻게 반영하고 있는지, 그리고 현재 한국에 거주하는 제 3문화 아이들과 젊은 여성으로서의 삶에 대해 논의합니다.
