Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea - Thryft

Graphic novel exposes North Korea's surreal reality.

"Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea" offers you a rare glimpse behind the heavily guarded borders of one of the world's most secretive countries. Guy Delisle's experiences, presented in graphic novel form, deftly blend humor and insight, making the heavy subject matter both entertaining and thought-provoking. It's a travelogue like no other, mixing the mundanity of daily life with the absurdity of living under constant surveillance, perfect for those intrigued by North Korea's enigma.
