Author Eric Schmiedl explains what it's about.
"It's running through my bipolar misadventures in South Korea back 10 years ago now when I was teaching english as a second language. It goes through some of the episodes I had while I was there and going through some manic times."
The book is being published by Operation Sharing and only cost's $10.00."
Schmiedl adds it's a sequel to his first book; Don Quixote Versus the Devil.
"I was asked if I would write a sequal some time back and I wasnt really planning on it but then I was looking at the South Korean Olympics and thinking well there's a lot more to the story to tell so i'll go ahead and tell it."
Following the launch Schmiedl will be holding a book signing at the Merrifield Book Shop on Saturday from 12pm to 2pm.
Schmiedl says the story has a positive message behind it.
"South Korean Mania is aimed at showing people that mental illness is not all about doom and gloom."
