Like an explorer returned from a distant planet or another dimension, Suki Kim has many extraordinary tales to tell, among them how different--and how awful--life is for those who live in North Korea. The devil is in the details here, for her gritty narrative focuses on everyday events to reveal how repression shapes daily life, even for the most privileged. Yet Kim also bears witness to that part of the human soul that no oppressor can ever claim.

In here, the human bosom -- mine, yours, everybody's -- there isn't just one soul. There's a lot of souls. But there are two main ones, the real soul and a pretender soul. Now!

In the history of the world many souls have been, are, and will be, and with a little reflection this is marvelous and not depressing.

And that's good.
Saul Bellow

It is easy to speak words of love, or to meditate lovingly upon those people with whom you are in harmony.

When you generate sufficient love to them, the discord will fade away.
Catherine Ponder

You take sides if your smart. Offer up your loyalty cause it's all you've got to trade. Trouble is, most times, when you're looking to sell your soul, nobody's buying. - Radiance
