There’s a nice feature on James Church and his Inspector O series in the NYT. Well worth a read, as are the books themselves. Here’s a good quote from the article:
“If you want to understand North Korea then you need to read Inspector O,” said Michael Madden, who has spent years studying the North Korean leadership. Church “is giving you the conversations that these people have, the bureaucracy there and just the North Korean mood and attitude. He gets that culture. Not many people do.”
