This book explains why you should stop referring to North Korea as things like “hard-line Stalinist” state. Pretty much everybody writing about the DPRK in the media is guilty of it, but most people miss the point of what the North’s ideology is really about. I learned a lot here. The author, B.R. Myers, also wrote “A Reader’s Manifesto: An attack on the growing pretentiousness of American literary prose” in the Atlantic Monthly back in 2001. I found it affirming.
