KIRKUS REVIEW

A dystopian novelist turns his attention to a memoir, recounting the 18 months he lived in South Korea.

In 1993, 23-year-old University of Iowa graduate Diehl (The Book of Wanda, 2018, etc.) accepted a position at SNM Academy in Taegu (now known as Daegu), South Korea, teaching English to adults. SNM had nine levels of classes, 101 through 109. There was also a Junior Academy for younger students. At the junior school, the author met Jennifer, a beautiful, young Korean woman who captured his heart. She was a Taegu native teaching English there. Their relationship—first one of friendship, then love—broke Korean social norms and put them in great danger. She was the middle child and, worse, the second daughter of a wealthy, professional family. “I was a disappointment to them the day I was born,” she told Diehl. Within the family, her needs were subservient to those of her older sister and younger brother. Combining the drama and excitement of a novel with some sociological commentary, the author offers both a tender love story and an eye-opening depiction of Korean values, restrictions, and strengths in the early ’90s. As a white man, he was viewed with suspicion, which turned into outright hostility whenever he was seen walking or dining with Jennifer. Through re-creations of classroom dialogue with his most advanced students, the 109s, Diehl deftly highlights various aspects of Korean social stratification. One student explained: “Men are different. To men, most important is respect. Way to get respect is to be a manager. When every man is manager and every woman is mother, then everyone is happy.” After Jennifer’s parents discovered she was dating an American, threatening to disgrace the family, they beat her mercilessly. Here the narrative turns from being intriguing and at times lighthearted to gripping, as under the cover of darkness and with contrived documentation, the couple fled to Hong Kong and later the United States.

An engrossing, poignant, and often disturbing adventure; loaded with historical and cultural details about the Korean Peninsula.

FORWARD/CLARION REVIEW:

STEALING CINDERELLA
HOW I BECAME AN INTERNATIONAL FUGITIVE FOR LOVE

Mark Diehl

Stealing Cinderella is a true story of love triumphing against the odds.

A fairy tale comes to life in Stealing Cinderella, the true story of how Mark Diehl’s love for a South Korean girl brought them into life-or-death conflict with a culture determined to crush them.

The story begins in 1993 as Diehl arrives in South Korea with twenty dollars in his pocket and a precarious contract to teach English. At the English school he meets the intriguing and lovely Jennifer, the second daughter of a prominent family bound by strict rules, superstitions, and an unyielding script that prescribes the exact roles and responsibilities of each family member. Couple that barrier with South Korea’s mistrust, even open hatred, of foreigners, and the scene is ripe for conflagration as the two young people fall in love. The book conveys the soul-killing stress engendered by living in a society in which every move is surveilled, where a Korean woman and an American man holding hands in public could provoke an attack by an angry mob.

The meaning of the book’s title is revealed as Jennifer’s role in her family becomes clear: to create an image of wealth and respectability for her siblings, and then to slide into the background, uncomplaining. Referring to her elegant, stylish appearance, Jennifer says, “It’s all temporary. Like Cinderella.” Intense and suspenseful, the book details the abuse that the fiery, independent young woman endured as she struggled to free herself from her family’s icy grip, and the dangers the couple faced in their perilous attempt to escape to freedom. Deep descriptions of people and places reflect dark truths, compelling emotional involvement.

The tension builds right from the start. Pointed, natural dialogue moves the story forward, revealing characters’ backstories without lengthy narrative passages. Informative and entertaining, the book sets the stage for the conflict between the young outlier couple and Korean society through eye-opening, often disturbing facts about the country’s culture, beliefs, and lifestyle, including that it’s suffered nine hundred invasions in its history. It becomes clear why the nation is suspicious and fearful of its neighbors and why it takes comfort in holding tightly to its traditions. A prescient warning comes regarding submission to rigid hierarchies as a requirement for acceptance and survival.

Stealing Cinderella is a thrilling, high-stakes memoir—emotionally intense, in which two memorable lovers fight against injustice and toward a satisfying conclusion.

Review of Vida Nocturna by Review-World in the UK

“This book is as dark and fast paced as they come. Set in the 1980’s Vida Nocturna paints a very gritting and disturbing picture of the growing underground cultures that began to expand uncontrollably around that time.”
