South Korea has long known for the production of great writing presses in history and while that might be the case, in more recent times, it is the production of great writers that is capturing the eyes of the world.  Today, with students becoming more than adept at the English language, of course this helps with the dissemination of literature across borders. Yet, it is the passion of intensely, artistic individuals that is creating the wave of literature sweeping the world off its feet!  Lilit Marcus writing for Vanity Fair enlightens the world with this awesome collection.

Asia is a wealth of knowledge, but not just for cultural  or heritage-oriented things.  Literature is one of the oldest loved forms of relaxation in Asia (apart from the furthering of education) and finding a good book to settle down with during the monsoon season, is a must.  Great authors can be found all over Asia, they are not restricted to just Korea, so you need to open you mind and prepare to be amazed at the depth of artistic and literary abilities these authors possess. 

Here are only ten of the best highlighted by the Tribune.  Don't forget to get yourself at least one book; well, maybe two...three and you'll be on a roll.  :)
