Hold the ersatz kimchi. I'm 80 percent through.

P.S. I just picked up, in paper at the public library, Escape from Camp 14: One Man's Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West. So I will put off giving a capsule review of the novelization until after reading a non-fiction account.

However, I can't help now recommending the stupendously outstanding The Good Earth, which can be read as a picture of the societal defects that might lead to this sort of totalitarianism.
