The award-winning and New York Times bestselling novel: a dark
and witty story of the rise of a young orphan in the surreal and
tyrannical regime of North Korea .

Young Pak Jun Do is convinced he is special. He knows he must be

the unique son of the master of the orphanage, and definitely not
some kid dumped by his parents. Surely it was obvious from the
way his father singled him out for regular beating?

He finds his calling when he is picked as a spy and kidnapper for his
nation, the glorious Democratic Republic of North Korea.

He knows he must find his true love, Sun Moon, the greatest opera
star who ever lived, before it's too late.

He knows he's not like the other prisoners in the camp.

He's going to get out soon.

Isn't he?

This hilarious, dark literary epic of a young boy's rise in North

Korea from orphan to high-ranking officer won the Pulitzer Prize
for Fiction and was shortlisted for the National Book Award.
Adam Johnson is working on a new work of fiction.
