Add to basketPaperback. A Beautiful Book Tour is a brash farce about the absurdity of an older American woman meeting a younger K-drama male star who falls instantly in love with her. It was written in protest of K-dramas that end up with the lovers possibly, just maybe, holding hands in the last episode.Emi Kaye is the author of Park Hae Jin Does the Kama Sutra or the Sweetest Story Ever Told. She is invited to Korea by an unknown person to meet Park Hae Jin, handsome star of many K-dramas and the subject of her book. They hit it off and immediately make love.She returns to the United States.Mr. Park sets up a book tour with his agency to sell her book and get to know her better. However, he already 'knows' her quite well and is constantly in a sexual heat to be with her. He colludes with his bodyguards and translator to cover up their relationship, because Kdrama fans in Korea do not like 'their' stars to date or get married. Unexpectedly, Emi turns out to be quite charming and funny.Plagued by well wishers and reporters, the bodyguards and translator become key characters in Hae Jin's and Emi's romance. They hide things, explain, act as decoys, clean up messes, cook, and do yardwork.The story alternates between explicit love scenes and comic coverups. The scatological comically comes into play when Emi turns a bathroom into a hazmat location after eating a bad fruit bar. There are several strange bathroom scenes.When they admit to the public that they are in love and are going to be married, they get invited to several TV shows to explain themselves. One program is a knitting and crochet program with Miss KoKo and Miss JoJo. The concept of the show seems to be those couples that knit together, stay together. Emi thinks that knitting isn't what keeps a couple together. She steers the conversation to how much Mr. Park needs soft knitted underpants and challenges the audience to knit him up some panties. Emi measures Hae Jin's "area" and causes the show to have the highest ratings ever recorded. Also, the wool markets and the commodities markets which sell wool for knitting in Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia get a boost.There are two weddings. One is in Las Vegas in the United States where an Asian hate incident occurs as Hae Jin's and Emi's room gets blown up. Their honeymoon is in Albuquerque. They are forced to bring the bodyguards along because of the incident in Las Vegas. The second wedding is on Jeju Island with about 5000 fans in attendance at a stadium. They depart to Malaysia for their second honeymoon. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
