Pyongyang A Journey In North Korea HC

Description

Pyongyang promises to be a breakout hit and one of D+Q's biggest graphic novels of the year. Famously referred to as one of the "Axis-of-Evil" countries, North Korea remains one of the most secretive and mysterious nations in the world today. In 2001 cartoonist Guy Delisle became one of the few Westerners to be allowed access to the fortress-like country. While living in the nation's capital for two months on a work visa for a French film animation company Delisle observed what he was allowed to see of the culture and lives of the few North Koreans he encountered; his findings form the basis of this remarkable graphic novel. Pyongyang is an informative, personal, and accessible look at a dangerous and enigmatic country.
