<br>Hi Mike:<div><br></div><div>There’s a lot you can use in this course. Have you looked at Ha Jin’s War Trash? It’s a novel, not a short story, but is a powerful fictional account of what it was like to be a Chinese POW during the Korean War. For the Vietnam War, another novel you might find useful is Hwang Suk-Young’s The Shadow of Arms. You could also have them read Ahn Junghyo’s White Badge on Koreans in the Vietnam War. And, for short stories, look at Bruce Fulton’s translations in The Red Room: Stories of Trauma in Contemporary Korea. There are also the short stories of Hwang Sun won, Mountains (in Fulton’s anthology Land of Exile) and Cranes, in Modern Korean Fiction: an Anthology. </div>
