The Dog Butcher
Jinho Kim is a dog butcher. In the slaughterhouse, a one-eyed dog befriends him and he finds that they share a special bond. When Jinho is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he and his dog set off on a journey into the countryside where past and present merge and a lost childhood comes back to life. The Dog Butcher is a novel about nostalgia, regret, friendship and the Korean heart. It is a powerful, touching and heartbreaking work that will surely go down as one of the best Korean novels available in the English language.

Bullying and Violence in South Korea
This book provides a fully-contextualised, multidisciplinary examination of bullying and violence in South Korean society. Bullying and violence has been a pressing societal issue since 2011, having been labelled as a 'social evil' to be eradicated by the government. However, the issue has been incorrectly confined to schools when in fact it is widespread in society and in professional settings, as Bax argues in this original new text. Through twenty in-depth case studies and original case material from a Juvenile Detention Centre, Bax examines the historical, cultural, political and social contexts of bullying and violence to better understand the nature of these crimes, the perpetrators, and how they come together in the broader cultural landscape within which the individual, the family, the school and the community are embedded.
