A significant contribution to international scholarship on North Korea.(Far Eastern Economic Review) Myers's study is an extremely valuable contribution to our understanding of what remains, even today, an opaque society.... Given the paucity of materials in English on North Korean literature, his book opens an important window onto a virtually unknown subject.(Korean Quarterly) A landmark of Korean Studies in the United States... a great help to English-speaking readers interested in North Korean literature.(Chosen Gakuho) A witty, precise study.(The Wall Street Journal)
