Did you know that in North Korea foreigners cannot pay with North Korean won? Or that you won’t find pictures of the North Korean leaders who they worship on the stamps or postcards, so… sometimes they represent Western monarchs? Nick Bonner’s book Made in North Korea is a colorful kaleidoscope of the everyday life of North Koreans, which is not as gray as it may seem.
In the book you will find posters, postcards, labels with all kinds of products, photos (and most interestingly) short information before each chapter, thanks to which we gain a wider context. Made in North Korea includes an interesting introduction in which Bonner talks about what captured him in a country full of contrast to such extent that he returned to it regularly.
