This autobiographical novel narrated by the author's eponymous character candidly shares the story of his birth, childhood as a sensitive boy, school years marked by infatuations with a male friend and teacher, military service as superiors' favorite, agony as a newlywed realizing that he is unfit for marriage, roving through China as a North Korean defector, and tumultuous experience as a sexual minority settled in South Korea--episodes too multifarious and eclectic to have happened to one person.

Literary Nonfiction. Asian & Asian American Studies. Art. Kimchi, K-pop, taekwondo, Samsung--the images that most people get when they think of Korea don't stray much beyond the usual ones. But there are so many more fascinating sides to Korea. A cultural anthropologist with over 20 years of personal experience in Korea, author Benjamin Joinau introduces readers to the various faces of Korea outside those that Koreans typically like to present, guided by Elodie Dornand de Rouville's refreshingly original and detailed illustrations--Korean society through the eyes of two foreigners. Grab a copy and let's take a look at the real faces of Korea, past and present.
