No Couches in Korea

Six finalist awards for Non-Fiction/Narrative/Travel Writing: Foreword INDIES (2016), CIPA EPPY (2017), Global Ebooks (2017), International Book Awards (2017), Beverly Hills Books Awards (2017) and Journey Book Awards (2017). This gem of a classic describes Pusan of South Korea in the mid-1990s. A decade when western English teachers descended upon, meandered about, and discovered a place within an ever more modern Korean society. From the point-of-view of Adam Wanderson, you will be led on a first-person narrative of the job, the experiences, the landscape, the expat scenes, and the many colorful western characters that made their way to South Korea, to make a new home. All the while, Adam struggles with separating entirely from his past, or entirely embracing the new. NO COUCHES IN KOREA is even timelier today than when the story first took place. It shares a foreigner-experienced glimpse into South Korean life just prior to cellphones, the internet, and the current craze of Korean films, TV, and K-Pop.
