Kevin M Maher

Kevin M Maher grew up in eighteen houses in ten towns across the state of Michigan by the time he was eighteen years old. After university, he moved to many more apartments in other states including New York, California, Arizona, Oregon, and Minnesota. Those relocations catapulted more movement across more apartments and cities in Asia, Europe, and South America. South Korea was one of the longest lingering locations that attracted him back a multitude of times. He currently once again resides within South Korea striking range, in the comfortable city of Macau. View www.kevinmaher.com to keep updated on future works.

The author arrived in South Korea for a one year stint in 1996, but continued to live there off and on over the next couple decades. Korea never entirely left him, and some of the characters that found their way into his book, continue to frequent the bars, the streets, and the alleys of Busan and Seoul to this day. Now, all of them will be eternally memorialized, as they'll come alive in your own mind as your experience No Couches in Korea.
