About the author
As a child, renowned South Korean poet, Jae-hoon Won (원재훈), had a habit of writing letters and words on his palm. Words about love, encouragement, and the different truths of life. Now these letters have become “palm stories” in There Are No Bad People in the World.
“I now want to move out of my own palm and try writing on someone else’s palm — kindness and humility on violent palms; piety and innocence on dirty palms; love and peace on brutal palms. And I hope they’d start to look at the world this way. I wish for “bridge and road” rather than “wall and fence” and this is how I endure our miserable tragic world of excessive food, jokes, and violence.”
