Korea: How You Feel is a vivid snapshot of life as an English teacher during the late 1990's Asian economic crisis, where things are not what they seem. From a bewildered arrival at Kimpo Airport in Seoul to an alchemic epiphany in the streets of Saigon, Manheim Wagner's expatriate novel takes the reader on a philosophical journey that tears apart the romantic veneer of life in a foreign land."Taking place just prior to the Asian Financial Crisis, when Korea was crawling with English teachers, Korea: How You Feel takes the reader on a journey to the seedy underbelly of life in Korea bursting with decadence. Part Henry Miller and part William S. Burroughs, with some Bukowski thrown in for good measure--Korea: How You Feel is just as much a scathing tirade of English teachers gone wild in Korea as it is the story of modern Korea. Manheim Wagner pulls no punches in this impressive debut novel."Jeffrey Miller, author of Ice Cream Headache and War Remains, A Korean War Novel
