Before falling asleep, we often become 
worried and anxious about what tomorrow 
may bring. At the same time, we look forward 
to the adventures that lie ahead. When we 
wake up however, we find that tomorrow is 
once again beyond our reach. 

How different is our life today from the 
tomorrow that we envisioned yesterday?
Will we ever be able to arrive at the life of 
tomorrow? Today’s literature is yesterday’s 
tomorrow; what does it weave out of all 
the ominous premonitions and bizarre yet 
enchanting dreams from yesterday?

Tomorrow and in the days that follow, we will 
encounter our own faces that feel unfamiliar 
to us. You are warmly invited to participate in 
the 2020 Seoul International Writers’ Festival, 
where we will interact with writers from all 
corners of the world, who have conveyed those 
strange new faces in multiple languages.
