The Boy Who Escaped Paradise by J. M. Lee

5.0

This is a wonderfully complicated, beautifully translated book. We spend time in North Korea, various parts of China, South Korea, Mexico, and the United States. Jim Lee turns a very critical and detailed eye to everything until you feel the starvation, the misery, and the confusion of a young man who cannot understand the worlds he gets thrust in to. By the end, you are left wondering how much was real. Highly recommended.
