Not sure if it appears in previous editions, but I just happened to notice that "Korea Bug" is given a shout out as a
"Top Pick" in Lonely Planet's latest edition of their city guide to Seoul, right at the front in their "Books on Seoul"
box. They write, "A Seoul 'zine turned book, featuring interviews with a fascinating set of Seoul characters, including
a shaman, a gisaeng (similar to a Japanese geisha), artists and directors." Also listed are "Korea's Place in the Sun" by
Bruce Cumings and Andrei Lankov's "The Dawn of Modern Korea." Rather than feigning cheap, ingratiating modesty,
I'll just go ahead and say that I'm certain both scholars are delighted to be keeping such distinguished company! |
