This stunning dystopian feminist eco-thriller from an award-winning South Korean author takes on climate change, sexual assault, greed, and dark tourism (Ms. Magazine).
Welcome to the desert island of Mui, where a paid vacation to paradise is nothing short of a disaster in this mordantly witty novel [that] reads like a highly literary, ultra-incisive thriller (Refinery29). Jungle is a cutting-edge travel agency specializing in tourism to destinations devastated by disaster and climate change. And until she found herself at the mercy of a predatory colleague, Yona was one of their top representatives. Now on the verge of losing her job, she's given a proposition: take a paid vacation to the desert island of Mui and pose as a tourist to assess the company's least profitable holiday. When she uncovers a plan to fabricate an extravagant catastrophe, she must choose: prioritize the callous company to whom she's dedicated her life, or embrace a fresh start in a powerful new position? An eco-thriller with a fierce feminist sensibility, The Disaster Tourist introduces a fresh new voice to the United States that engages with the global dialogue around climate activism, dark tourism, and the #MeToo movement.
