DESCRIPTION:Here is a rare chance to meet one of America's most prominent novelists and 
 to get an inside look at his prize-winning work, The Orphan Master's Son. 
 The Pulitzer committee called The Orphan Master's Son, set in North Korea, 
 "an exquisitely crafted novel that carries the reader on an adventuresome 
 journey into the depths of totalitarian North Korea and into the most 
 intimate spaces of the human heart." Johnson spent several years 
 researching the book, his third, reading historical accounts and propaganda 
 about the isolated country. He also read personal narratives from the few 
 people who have defected or managed to visit North Korea under a tightly 
 controlled state-sponsored trip. Johnson's fiction has appeared in Esquire, 
 Harper's, Playboy, Paris Review, Granta, Tin House, The New York Times, 
 Best American Short Stories. He is the author of Emporium, a short-story 
 collection, and the novels Parasites Like Us, which also won a California 
 Book Award. - See more at:
