Dealing with diametrically opposed themes of propaganda, corruption, camaraderie, and identity, Adam Johnson's 'The Orphan Master's Son' opened to high praise and was awarded the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction the year after its publication. It is "one of those rare works of high ambition that follow through on all of its promises . . . it examines both the Orwellian horrors of life in the DPRK and the voyeurism of Western media" (M. Francis Wolff, The New Inquiry). "Johnson's novel accomplishes the seemingly impossible: an American writer has masterfully rendered the mysterious world of North Korea with the soul and savvy of a native . . . [juxtaposing] the vicious atrocities of the regime with the tenderness of beauty, love, and hope" (Publishers Weekly).
