English Toss on Planet Andong

Om English Toss on Planet Andong

A biting black comedy that centres on three hopeless expat teachers. Every year thousands of people travel to faraway lands to teach English as a foreign language. The fools. One such expat is Paul Taylor, a heartbroken Aussie looking for a fresh start in a South Korean classroom. The lack of training isn't much of a help, but it's the baffling natives and unhinged flatmates that really start to convince him he's crash-landed in another galaxy... Packed with over the top characters, English Toss is a demented sitcom of a novel that revels in the extremes of expat dislocation. "The author has an excellent ear for dialogue and some of his set-pieces are laugh out loud funny... Dave Franklin probably won't be the last author to offer his take on Korean life - he might just be the most caustic and honest, though." - Groove Korea magazine "Startlingly different." - Australian Crime Fiction website "...the writing has pace, and is hilarious in places. An expose on Korean culture on and ESL teaching this book is not. But as a simple black comedy, English Toss is worth reading." - The Korea Herald
