North Korea: A Shameless Plug – That Won’t Happen Too Often

Posted: December 29th, 2008 | No Comments »

OK, I don’t this all that often – plugging my books – but I will for a moment, so please forgive. I just got referred to a review of the second edition of my book North Korea: The Paranoid Peninsula. A Modern History in the journal Acta Koreana and by Leonid Petrov. Naturally I’m happy as Acta Koreana is the journal of the Academia Koreana at Keimyung University while Petrov, a graduate of St. Petersburg State University and now teaching at the Australian National University in Canberra, is someone I have long read and admired on Korea.

Sorry to plug – it won’t happen too often – but this one cheered me up on a rainy day.

About

As someone who divides his time pretty evenly writing about China now and China back then this seemed like a place to throw all the interesting bits that fall through the cracks somehow and never get used anywhere else. It's basically the stuff that doesn't get used in my writing about modern China or in the books I do about old China — i.e. probably of little interest to anyone but me and therefore ideally suited to an obscure blog up a dark cul-de-sac of the Internet. I'm also adding the odd 'Deviation Posting' about non-China stuff that interests me — Paul French
