Imagining North Korea
An interview and book signing with Adam Johnson, Ph.D., author of The Orphan Master’s Son

Professor Johnson went to North Korea for research and came back with a novel, The Orphan Master’s Son. Seldom has a writer captured life inside this mysterious hermit dictatorship once known as “The Land of the Morning Calm”. One reviewer wrote: “The result is pure gold, a terrific novel.” Johnson is in Stanford University’s English Department, and has had his books translated into sixteen languages. His fiction has appeared in Harper’s, Playboy, and the Paris Review. In 2010 he was a National Endowment of the Arts Fellow.
