SEOUL, April 17 (AJP) - Author Han Kang is set to publish her first book since winning the Nobel Prize in Literature last December.

Slated for release next Thursday, the book, titled "Light and Thread" features a collection of about a dozen essays, along with her speech and lectures delivered in Stockholm, Sweden when the Nobel literature laureate was there to accept the prestigious award.

According to its publisher, the book also includes several pieces previously published in literary magazines.

But Han is expected to stay out of the public spotlight, as she is currently focusing on finalizing her next novel, scheduled for release later this year.

The novel reportedly will be the last in the series to complete her winter-themed trilogy, along with her previous short stories "While One Snowflake Melts" and "Farewell," released in 2015 and 2018 respectively.
