netted 3 books for $18 at a bargain book relocation sale and this was one of them. the books they had to offer were mostly low tier classics or modern works by little known authors and this one caught my eye because its familiar subject matter, them koreas.
drifting house is a collection of short stories about the dramatic post-korean war landscape and the many facets of what it means to be korean these days. some stories focused on the struggles of korean americans, others on it’s historic financial collapse, and some of that bizarre land north of the 38th parallel.
i wish there had been a story that touched on a slightly more modern korea, the most current was probably right around the turn of the millennia, but that’s only because it would have satisfied my own interests and place in a country i only sort of know.
