Publisher's Summary:

As a virtual prison state, North Korea is a place where the act of journalism is nearly impossible. Talking to citizens will get you nothing more than the party line, and most information about North Korea is related by Western journalists, who either visit the country on brief press junkets or record and repackage the unverifiable accounts of defectors. Having been born and raised in South Korea, I am fluent in the countrys language and culture, which enabled me to glean the subtleties beneath the surface, without the censoring presence of an official translator.

"The Reluctant Memoirist" is from the July/August issue of The New Republic.
