About this book

This is a novel. The story is set in North Korea and follows Pak Jun Do, an orphan who rises in the ranks of the state. The book analyzes themes of propaganda, identity, and state power. This novel offers a riveting portrait of a world that was previously hidden from view. North Korea is a place of hunger, corruption and casual cruelty but also of camaraderie and stolen moments of beauty and love.

About the author

Adam Johnson

The Orphan Master's Son follows a North Korean orphan through a tunnel unit, a kidnapping operation and a prison mine, and it took the Pulitzer in 2013. Johnson visited the country once on a controlled tour and built the rest from defector testimony and state propaganda, which he has been open about as a limitation rather than a credential.
