The narrative blurs boundaries between natural and artificial, normal and abnormal, peaceful and violent, while questioning assumptions often taken for granted. With humor and emotional tension, it examines how disasters are created across scales and what resilience can mean when confronted with catastrophe and personal conscience.","ADVANCE PRAISE FOR  \nTHE DISASTER TOURIST  \n“A gripping literary thriller about disaster, adventure, and a crisis of conscience that will resonate with any traveler.”  \n—JENNIFER CROFT, author of Homesick and winner of the Man Booker International Prize for her translation of Olga Tokarczuk’s Flights  \n“An endlessly surprising and totally gripping read, The Disaster Tourist is as hilarious as it is heartbreaking. It questions every aspect of life we so often take for granted, smashing apart any easy distinctions between natural and artificial, normal and abnormal, peaceful and violent, personal and political. There could not be a more prescient moment for this too-real fiction about how we create our own disasters on every scale and what resilience might mean in the face of catastrophe.”  \n—ELVIA WILK, author of Oval  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nTHE DISASTER TOURIST  \nCopyright © 2020 by Yun Ko-eun  \nEnglish translation copyright © 2020 by Lizzie Buehler First Counterpoint edition: 2020  \nFirst published in Great Britain in 2020 by SERPENT’S TAIL, an imprint of Profile Books Ltd  \nAll rights reserved under International and Pan-American Copyright Conventions.
