Summary, Etc. "North Korea is visible from cartoonist Keum Suk Gendry-Kim's home and studio. The specter of the infamous dictatorship and nuclear power looms over the daily life of everyone in its path. Artillery fire, helicopters, and sirens from a nearby military base paint the acoustic landscape. To confront her anxiety stemming from the eerie proximity of an unchecked power, Gendry-Kim searches for the humane and explores the life of the supreme leader through interviews with former politicians, researchers, and journalists, interspersed with more personal accounts from defectors and friends of assissinated victims. What emerges is a chilling and timely cautionary tale about the danger of absolute power. Translated by Janet Hong"-- Provided by publisher.
