A big tip of the hat to Korean Rum Diary and The Marmot's Hole for bringing Br. R. Meyers book The Cleanest Race: How North Koreans See Themselves and Why It Matters along to our attention. KRD first mentioned it and Marmot has brought us news of Christopher Hitchens review of it. Or as Hitchens says "A Nation of Racist Dwarves. Kim Jong Il's regime is even weirder and more despicable than you thought."
I gotta get a copy of the book. It sounds very interesting. The review was well worth the read. Made me want to read the book even more.
Thanks for the link. I was looking for the book downtown the other day, but it wasn't there. I guess I'll try Amazon.
ReplyDeleteHope you can get a copy.
