WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2013 - the ground-breaking story about a young man's passage through the prison camps and dictatorship of North Korea
Klappentext zu „The Orphan Master's Son “
An acclaimed novel, which follows a young man's epic journey within the world's most mysterious dictatorship, North Korea. Dark, playful and genre-defying - part thriller, part coming-of-age story, part love story - it highlights the surrealist brutality of North Korea and shines a fierce light on the essence of the human condition.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „The Orphan Master's Son “

Rezension zu „The Orphan Master's Son “
"An addictive novel of daring ingenuity; a study of sacrifice and freedom in a citizen-eating dynasty; and a timely reminder that anonymous victims of oppression are also human beings who love. A brave and impressive book" -- David Mitchell, Author Of The Thousand Autumns Of Jacob De Zoet "A flamboyantly grim epic of totalitarianism. this larger-than-life, two-fisted picaresque manages to be a page-turner... an ambitious book" The Sunday Times "One of those books where you know you've found yourself in the hands of someone who can really tell a story, and is yet not naive about the artificiality of stories. The conceit is fantastic: a narration partly told through the loud speakers of the North Korean regime." -- Zadie Smith "Fast-paced and intriguing. this complex, multi-voiced narrative will remind some readers of David Mitchell's similarly inventive tale, Cloud Atlas. It is magnificent" Financial Times "What we have here are the ingredients of an across-the-board smash hit: sympathetic characters, an exotic, unknowable setting and a plot that will carry you along more convincingly than any of the fictions used by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea." -- David Annand Sunday Telegraph
