Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea
Author | |
Abstract |
In 2001, French-Canadian cartoonist Delisle traveled to North Korea on a work visa to supervise the animation of a children’s cartoon show for two months. While there, he got a rare chance to observe firsthand one of the last remaining totalitarian Communist societies. He also got crappy ice cream, a barrage of propaganda and a chance to fly paper airplanes out of his 15th-floor hotel window. Combining a gift for anecdote and an ear for absurd dialogue, Delisle’s retelling of his adventures makes a gently humorous counterpoint to the daily news stories about the axis of evil, a Lost in Translation for the Communist world.
