The Orphan Master's Son by Adam Johnson
4.0
The extraordinary life of Pak Jun Do as he goes from orphan to hero to prisoner and back again in the "workers' paradise" of North Korea.
A good story is more valuable than the truth. Or so the captain told us. We may never know the truth of life in North Korea, but through this novel we imagine the extremes of horror and absurdity the country may contain.
For the most part fascinating to listen to, but a bit on the long side (15 CDs!) and I could have done without the interrogator's point of view.
