The Life and Hard Times of a Korean Shaman. Of Tales and The Telling of Tales.

Honolulu. University of Hawai'i Press. 1988. Stock ID #44784

ix + 157pp, glossary, bibliography, index, extremites worn, good paperback copy. Recorded in this book are the experiences, visions, and misadventures of a Korean shaman whose life story - poverty in childhood, deprivation and danger in the Korean War and betrayal by those she loved - is extraordinary. The shaman's tales are engrossing in their own right, but they become part of an even richer fabric as Kendall interweaves them with poignant and perceptive descriptions of the encounter between anthropologist and informant.
