This little gem of a book describes South Korea in the mid-1990s, as foreign English teachers descended upon, meandered about, and discovered a place within an ever more modern Korean society. New to Korea, and Korea new to them, both try to understand each other during this turbulent decade of much social and economic change. 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 bars, and the many colorful western characters that found their way to Korea, to make a new home.
AUTHOR: Kevin M. Maher first arrived in South Korea for a one year stint in 1996, but continued to live there off and on over the next few decades. Korea never entirely left him, and some of the characters that found their way into his book, continue to frequent the bars, the streets, and the alleys of Busan an Seoul to this day. Now, all of them will be eternally memorialized, as they'll come alive in your own mind as you experience No Couches In Korea.
