A City of Han: Stories by expat writers in South Korea

By Ron Bandun, Eliot Olesen, Ted Snyder, et al.

"Taken together. . . . the six stories are a short read well worth the time, and leave ample room for future exploration." -The Korea Herald

"A City of Han takes the raw, uncut fullness of life in Seoul and presents it exactly as it is, in all its unrefined glory." -Emily Judds

"What readers get is a raw and challenging view of Korea through a post-modern sensibility as the shining lights of the city become shroud in the ever encompassing cloak of reality." -Sarah Smith

There are three things a great city inspires: romance, music, and stories. A City of Han is a collection a short stories inspired by Seoul and other cities of South Korea. Just like their settings, the stories depict a blend of the modern and the traditional, of a drive for the future and memories from the past, of a longing for a home and a fear of being grounded -- and a struggle to reconcile these contradicting desires. At the end of the book, you will understand what makes Seoul one of the most interesting and complex landscapes for literature.
