Reporting from war-ravaged Cambodia, Fenton lived for a while in a monastery, where the monks, certain he was a CIA agent, were fixated with his bout of constipation. In The Snap Revolution,? Fenton chronicles Corazon Aquino's assumption of power in the Philippines, from a vantage point so close I could even tell you what perfume Imelda Marcos was wearing.? Fenton's most recent posting is Korea, where he reports, in his inimitable fashion, on the recent riots and election in that complex country on the brink of civil convulsion. All the Wrong Places is a visceral and unforgettable view from the Pacific Rim.…
