A westerner's visit into North Korea, told in the form of
a graphic novel.
Famously referred to as one of
the "Axis of Evil" countries, North Korea remains one of the
most secretive and mysterious nations in the world today. In
early 2001 cartoonist Guy Delisle became one of the few
Westerners to be allowed access to the fortresslike country.
While living in the nation's capital for two months on a
work visa for a French film animation company, Delisle
observed what he was allowed to see of the culture and lives
of the few North Koreans he encountered; his findings form
the basis of this remarkable graphic novel. Pyongyang
is an informative, personal, and accessible look at a
dangerous and enigmatic country.
