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."
