teaiskey's review against another edition
5.0
I picked this up as an impulse buy, and I'm so glad that I did.
North Korea, the most secretive nation in the world, finally brought to life by the art of photography. It really shows the humanity behind every day life. Of course, it's still controversial, and this book does confront some of that, however, it's more a celebration of the beauty of the mundane, ordinary things in life.
You often forget that the people of North Korea are still human. This book celebrates some of that humanity and beauty.

An interesting mix of anecdotal stories and photos from the writer's personal collection. Some new insights into the North Korean citizens' lives, in particular those in Pyongyang. It also highlights the difference in rules between North Koreans, international tourists, and foreign residents.
