I Am the Subway

I Am the Subway is a cinematic journey through Seoul’s subway, vividly portraying the many lives we share the moment we travel together. This is a poetic translation of the bestselling Korean picture book, accompanied by the constant rumble of the train as it threads its way through the city. From sunrise to sunset, the subway welcomes and farewells people, holding their joys, hopes, fears and memories in its restless embrace. Originally published in Korean and brought to English-speaking audiences by translator Deborah Smith, the book highlights the shared humanity found in crowded metropolitan life. It has been praised as sensitive and closely observed, contemplative and poignant, beautiful and unusual, bewitching, and a poetic tribute to Seoul and its people.

Described as an Observer Picture Book of the Year and a Read for Empathy Collection Choice by EmpathyLab, this edition presents a 52-page hardcover experience published by Scribble UK, with a release dated 13 January 2022.

The book invites readers of all ages to reflect on everyday journeys and the voices that travel with us, weaving a moving portrait of city life through images and words.
