Published on | Source
Tablo, a member of popular vocal group Epik High, will publish a collection of short stories in September. The singer says the stories will be about a diverse range of cityfolk.
Tablo, who graduated from Stanford University's English Literature Department, recently told reporters that most of his works are short stories he wrote back in college. His upcoming collection will be a compilation of ten of his English short stories which he is currently translating into Korean.
The singer admitted that he was once a middle school dropout and far from being a star student. However, he was pointed out as one of the most promising writers when he was a university student.
He said he was admitted into university thanks to his past experiences as a school newspaper editor and contributing writer.
Tablo says he received an award for literature from one of his favorite writers, Stanford University Professor Tobias Wolfe, who he says is widely acknowledged as the "Hemingway" of our generation. The singer explained that the short story, which he received the award for, is about a giant rat that sneaks into the New York apartment of an aspiring film director and completely changes his outlook on life.
The title of his upcoming book has yet to be finalized.
