ASK A NORTH KOREAN Defectors Talk About Their Lives Inside the World's Most Secretive Nation

This audiobook is composed of short essays from North Koreans who have defected to other countries. P.J. Ochlan and Greta Jung provide matter-of-fact narrations of these compelling perspectives on life in totalitarian North Korea. Pop culture, sexual identity, and daily livelihood are all covered. In one passage, two Koreans notice the glimmering lights of China in the distance while they stand in darkness in their home country. This is a brief but striking moment, particularly as the two discuss the implications of merely talking about that view aloud. Ochlan and Jung provide unembellished clear performances of this compelling news report. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2018]
