Although I am not a fan of Guy Delisle's cartooning, his work here is significant as he provides a view of North Korea that almost no one every sees. Images of complete darkness, aside from lit portraits or statues of the Great Leader, are the norm. The idea that Kim Il Sung is not dead pervades North Korea. AND THE PROPAGNADA alone makes this worth reading. Poor North Korea, they have no idea how bleak their lives really are. Somewhere George Orwell is saying...I told you so, why didn't you listen.
