The Orphan Master's Son



I’m guessing it’s difficult to bring up North Korea without making it seem like a political statement is being made, and certainly, in the case of this book, it’s hard to not divine the politics at stake. And yet, it is a character driven book that enables the reader to enter that alien, nightmare world through the resources of fiction rather than polemic.

It’s about Asia, which always attracts me.
