book, A Year in Pyongyang

A Year in Pyongyang by the late  Andrew Holloway.

There's a link to buy the book at Tim's  website: http://sites.google.com/site/nihilistorguk/_ This offers other items of interest too,  including:
* a Kanji font of his devising; and
* his own travelogue of a visit to the DPRK in  2002.

Alternatively, you can order A Year in  Pyongyang directly at
_http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/a-year-in-pyongyang/14737249_

In the UK the price is just ?4.93, plus ?2.99  postage.
(I gather that US dollar and euro prices, also  modest, are applied if you order from outside the UK.) If you prefer a downoad, this will cost you the princely sum of ?0.66! That's barely a dollar, and less than a  euro.

The books are made to order, which takes 3-5  days.

short fiction collection

via koreaweb.ws on Feb. 8:
 
...*Waxen Wings: The* Acta Koreana *Anthology of Short Fiction from Korea*, edited by
Bruce Fulton and published in the United States by Koryo Press.

[short extract from the editor's introduction]

The short story has been the genre of choice for writers of literary fiction
in modern Korea and it continues to thrive in the new millennium. *Waxen
Wings: The* Acta Koreana *Anthology of Short Fiction from Korea* offers a
diverse sampling from a century of modern Korean short fiction, beginning
with stories from two early masters (Yi Hyos?k and Ch'ae Manshik) and ending
with works by four of the most imaginative contemporary writers (Kim Y?ngha,
Ha S?ngnan, P'y?n Hyey?ng, and Kim Chunghy?k). In between are the two
writers who are primarily responsible for the visibility enjoyed by Korean
women fiction writers today (O Ch?ngh?i and Pak Wans?), and a writer, Kim
W?nil, who has made it his lifework to address the territorial and spiritual
division of the Korean peninsula. The title of the anthology, from Ha
S?ngnan's 1999 story, suggests the transcendental qualities of the finest
Korean short fiction.

The book can be purchased on-line from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
