Product Information
"If someone in the future asks in frustration, 'What has Korean literature been up to?' we can quietly hand them Vaseline Buddha ." -- Pak Mingyu A tragicomic odyssey told through free association scrubs the depths of the human psyche to achieve a higher level of consciousness equal to Zen meditation. The story opens when our sleepless narrator thwarts a would-be thief outside his moonlit window, then delves into his subconscious imagination to explore a variety of geographical and mental locations--real, unreal, surreal--to explore the very nature of reality. Jung Young Moon , 2005 alum of Iowa's International Writing Program, is one of South Korea's most award-winning, eccentric, and handsome authors, often compared to Kafka and Beckett.

Reviews
"One achieves a kind of serenity when we delve into this book. I find that eccentrics like Jung are needed in literature." -- Achim Stanislawski "Truly meaningful literature. What makes this novel so fascinating is its permanent liminality and ambiguity: it is exactly the completely obvious which remains ultimately cryptic; it is exactly the linguistic hyper-precision which leads to confusion; it is exactly the "boring" stuff which becomes thrilling at another level; and it is exactly the humorous, ironic attitude of the author-narrator which proves his deep seriousness." -- Jan Dirks, "A strange and wonderful novel. First and foremost, it is a page-turner, but in a way entirely different from what the phrase 'page-turner' usually evokes...page after page, you'll find yourself smiling, if not laughing out loud, at the comic absurdity that occupies the narrator's mind and writing." -- Kalau Almony, Reading in Translation "The book plays directly to the central questions of the act of writing: Should writing be driven by order or chaos? Should it structure the universe or reflect its seeming randomness? Is the imposition of form a virtue of a vice? On that front, it feels akin to writers like Gombrowicz and Beckett." -- Tyler Malone, contributing editor for Lit Hub and founding editor of The Scofield ( Literary Hub 's 21 Books to Read in July 2016) "Surreal landscapes, automatic writing, and Kafka comparisons? Our interest is piqued by this book, yes indeed." -- Vol. 1 Brooklyn (July 2016 Books Preview) "One of South Korea's more eccentric contemporary writers, Jung could almost be described as a cross between Beckett and Brautigan - his earlier writing was often extremely dark, but recently the balance has tipped towards lightness, of touch as much as of mood. It's all part of an aesthetic which prizes vagueness, randomness, digression rather than progression." -- Deborah Smith, Verso Books (Recommended as part of Verso's Five-Book Plan) "One achieves a kind of serenity when we delve into this book. I find that eccentrics like Jung are needed in literature." -- Achim Stanislawski "Truly meaningful literature.

It muses on where thoughts come from, how they act on us, and how to live a life that doesn't take itself too seriously, while still earnestly engaging with the world. Jung's work is as a hybrid of fiction, journal, and philosophical aphorisms. It begins in a place where meaning is of little concern, and ends by asking the reader to build up her own meaning while enjoying Jung's fragments for the small, precious pleasures they provide." -- John W. W. Zeiser, Los Angeles Review of Books "Jung Young Moon's work is remarkable for its eccentric modes of thought and how it tests the limits of the novel and our notions of what fiction can do. It looks beyond the basic form and asks important secondary questions of where fiction is left to go. It also reveals crisply the cryptic nature of everyday life, which if examined with deep seriousness, will inevitably lead to deep absurdity--and that makes its futility somewhat pleasing. ?"? -- Jason De Young, Numero Cinq Magazine "A strange and wonderful novel.

Seller bought book from Amazon. It was sent by Amazon to me with a invoice slip inside the book. One of EBay's rules is no 3rd party selling. Book was bought from Amazon $ 6.99 plus tax and shipping adding up to $14.00. I paid $25.00 plus the tax from the seller.
I did ask the seller why the book was bought from Amazon. I returned book and ask for a refund. Refund is pending.
