Book of Note

"The Orphan Master's Son" takes place in contemporary North Korea. The tale of a Korean boy who grows up to work for the dark side of N. Korea's government. A brutal story. Hard to read. Hard to put down. Occasional tiny rays of humanity creep into this riveting yet repulsive story. Read it-- If you've got the guts. It won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Powerful, Cruel, heart breaking. No happy ending.
