"If someone in the future asks in frustration, 'What has Korean literature been up to?' we can quietly hand them *Vaseline Buddha*." Pak Mingyu
"One enters into a kind of serenity when we delve into this book. I find that eccentrics like Jung are needed in literature." Achim Stanislawski
Our sleepless narrator thwarts a would-be thief outside his moonlit window, then delves into his subconscious imagination 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.
