North Korea is often represented as an unknowable space: a militarized space with few computers, no Internet, and a government mouthpiece that reports almost no news. Join us with two award-winning authors who seek to imagine and tell stories from the so-called Hermit Kingdom: Krys Lee, the author of How I Became a North Korean and National Book Award-nominated journalist Barbara Demick. The event was moderated by former AAWW Open City Fellow Sukjong Hong.
