Looking to get a feel for these countries through stories. I have read quite a bit of mainstream Japanese and Korean authors, a lot of modern stuff. So I'm looking for maybe older stories, or books that are not your Murakamis or Kim Jiyoungs! Just read "When I'm gone look for me in the east" and loved it, so think like that! Anything historical, or related to buddhism, or to the communist years, anything of the sort!
