Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea
The writer/artist spent two months in the capital of North Korea and created a graphic novel about the experience. I have a fascination for North Korea, so when I saw this book while idly browsing one day I knew I would have to get it.
I was not disappointed, but neither was I bowled over. It was "only" very good. Very conversational tone and casual presentation, juxtaposed with some heavy subject material. This was not a document about North Korea, but more a story of how visitors are treated in the capital city. Fascinating stuff. A very good read.
