Kevin M. Maher first arrived in South Korea for a one year stint in 1996, but continued to live there off and on over the next few decades. Korea never entirely left him, and some of the characters that found their way into his book, continue to frequent the bars, the streets, and the alleys of Busan and Seoul to this day. Now, all of them will be eternally memorialized, as they'll come alive in your own mind as you experience No Couches In Korea.
