Wasnt made in NK but the author collected this work from visiting it and is in regular contact with the artists + has tried to showcase there work outside of NK.
I’m hoping, honestly, for some revolutionary stuff I would love to hear from a Korean revolutionary, or Korean revolutionary thought.
Do you know why it is that this stuff is essentially unavailable? Has NK forbade literature from leaving the country, or is this an issue in the US/Western countries?
Memoirs of a Korean who grew up under Japanese occupation, got radicalized as a young teen and became a revolutionary, lived in the newly formed DPRK, then became a war correspondent, later got captured and spent 40 years being tortured in south Korean prison, and was eventually released and he returned to DPRK. It’s his memoir but it also serves as an overview of recent Korean history starting from the Japanese occupation period.
