"In his new book, Ask a North Korean, Daniel Tudor--a former
Economist journalist and current Korean beer entrepreneur-- wants
people to understand the true lives of everyday North Koreans.
Using translated essays written by defectors, the book covers
topics from politics to pornography." -- The Boston Globe The
weekly column Ask A North Korean, published by NK News, invites
readers from around the world to pose questions to North Korean
defectors . Adapted from the long-running column, these fascinating
interviews provide authentic firsthand testimonies about life in
North Korea and what is really happening inside the "Hermit
Kingdom." North Korean contributors to this book include: "Seong"
who went to South Korea after dropping out during his final year of
university. He is now training to be an elementary school teacher.
"Kang" who left North Korea in 2005. He now lives in London,
England. "Cheol" who was from South Hamgyeong in North Korea and is
now a second-year university student in Seoul. "Park" worked and
studied in Pyongyang before defecting to the U.S. in 2011. He is
now studying at a U.S. college. Ask A North Korean sheds critical
light on all aspects of North Korean politics and society and shows
that, even in the world's most authoritarian regime, life goes on
in ways that are very different from what outsiders may think.
Begin to understand North Korea through the eyes of those who know
it best--its defectors.
