Sophomore Michael Athanassiadis Wins National Essay Contest
This year’s essay prompt asked students to read the story “An Appointment with His Brother” by noted South Korean writer Yi Yun-Mol, in which the writer imagines meeting his North Korean brother in an autonomous Korean region in China, and analyze its portrayal of North Korea for the ways it differs from media depictions and suggests the challenges posed by reunification of the Koreas. Read his essay here. His win will be announced in AZALEA: Journal of Korean Literature and Culture; and the essay will be published in either the Korea Times Chicago or the Korean Quarterly (TBD).
