Setember 6, 2013. I'm enjoying the Orphan Master's Son which begins in North Korea. A glimpse into this oppressive culture where people have no control over their lives. In one passage, a sailor recounts a horrifying tale of a giant squid, put stops abrutly as a panic came over them. It is unlawful to talk about anything that inspires passion that is not directed to their totalitarian LEADER. This has to be the epitomy of oppression. Other horrors are revealed, such as prisoners being sent to an underground tunnel, never allowed to exit.
