Video: My Korean Deli with Ben Ryder Howe


Late last year, I reviewed My Korean Deli, Ben Ryder Howe's memoir of his stint as an over-educated manager of a Brooklyn deli with his Korean in-law. Howe's book ranked among my favorites of 2011 and, though it doesn't take place in Korea, I never miss a chance to recommend it to people in search of reading material on the country.

In the video above (which you can also view here), Howe discusses the book and his experience with Laura Vanderkam of City Journal (whose review of the book is here) at the Korea Society in New York. I hope it piques your interest and sends you in search of his book
