And what the hell are you talking about? You don't have Swine Flu? I thought we were friends.
What kind of lit does Nakyung like? Let's cover our bases: Alan Moore (for meaningful comedy), Joan Didion (for extremely literary writing), Raymond Carver (for very depressing literature) and Kelly Link (because I love her).
Sounds like your living situation is pretty good, sir. Keep us posted and I promise to do the same in that wretched and backward land of Germania.
But it makes sense that Korean people would really be interested in Victorian lit stuff. They can relate, as a culture, very much to social status (and breaking social status) as a source of conflict, because that's *exactly the way things are here, now*.
I've recommended to her, Marc Nesbitt (because of how much of a genius lunatic he is), and Chuck Palahniuk (because I don't know anyone who can so effectively be a breaking point against the sleepy century-old texts she's been reading in her lit classes). No, seriously. You think there's not enough contemporary lit in American English programs? She rattled off a list of things she's read, and the most recent one was Winesburg, Ohio. Good book, but... it was 1919, for Christ's sake.
