Description

North Korea, one of the world's most secretive nations, has long been shrouded in mystery. Recently, it opened its doors to foreign investment, and cartoonist Guy Delisle found himself in Pyongyang, capital city, on a work visa for a French film animation company.

Delisle's experience was marked by restrictions, with a translator and guide chaperoning his every move. However, amidst the statues, portraits, and propaganda of leaders Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il, he observed more than intended of the culture and lives of the few North Koreans he encountered.

This graphic novel is an informative and personal look at life in a country shrouded in secrecy. Delisle's astute and wry musings form the basis of this remarkable work, offering an accessible glimpse into an enigmatic nation.
