BOOK OF THE WEEK: The Disaster Tourist by Yun Ko-Eun is published in hardback by Serpent's Tail, priced £12.99 (ebook £5.99) A BIZARRE but intriguing slip of a book, The Disaster Tourist will make you feel rather content with the prospect of staycations for the foreseeable. Yona Ka is an expert in making disaster zones into engrossing tourist destinations, until she speaks out about sexual harassment at work and is then sent to the sink-hole ridden island of Mui. Only the place is rigged, and getting out alive becomes increasingly difficult.
