NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST An eyeopening account of life inside North Koreaa closed world of increasing global importancehailed as a tour de force of meticulous reporting (The New York Review of Books)FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD FINALIST FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD WINNER OF WINNERS AWARDIn this landmark addition to the literature of totalitarianism, awardwinning journalist Barbara Demick follows the lives of six North Korean citizens over fifteen yearsa chaotic period that saw the death of Kim Ilsung, the rise to power of his son Kim Jongil (the father of Kim Jongun), and a devastating famine that killed onefifth of the population.Demick brings to life what it means to be living under the most repressive regime todayan Orwellian world that is by choice not connected to the Internet, where displays of affection are punished, informants are rewarded, and an offhand remark can send a person to the gulag for life. She takes us deep inside the country, beyond the reach of government censors, and through meticulous and sensitive reporting we see her subjects fall in love, raise families, nurture ambitions, and struggle for survival. One by one, we witness their profound, lifealtering disillusionment with the government and their realization that, rather than providing them with lives of abundance, their country has betrayed them.Praise for Nothing to EnvyProvocative . . . offers extensive evidence of the authors deep knowledge of this country while keeping its sights firmly on individual stories and human details.The New York TimesDeeply moving . . .
