Tears of Theory
«
This will be seen as one of the boldest efforts to date to craft a new style of writing about International Relations. An auto-ethnography combined with fiction and theory, the author challenges us to look at the international, not through a safe and reified detachment, but in a thoroughly unsafe way – itself a metaphor for the very unsafe world we purport to study.

My own favorite fictional sleuths are Icelandic, Japanese, Indian and Singaporean. All of them are storytelling-worriers. So is Sungju-Park-Kang. His investigation of the mysterious downing of flight KAL 858 has taken him into encounters with state intelligence agents, confused students, and unsettled survivors. Accompanying Park-Kang along theorizing’s ill-lighted corridors will insure that IR will never look the same. Tears of Theory will stick with you.
