520    "A tale of marital intrigue, abuse, and divorce in North 
       Korea. A woman in her thirties comes to a courthouse 
       petitioning for a divorce. As the judge who hears her 
       statement begins to investigate the case, the story 
       unfolds into a broader consideration of love and marriage.
       The novel delves into its protagonists' past, describing 
       how the couple first fell in love and then how their 
       marriage deteriorated over the years. It chronicles the 
       toll their acrimony takes on their son and their careers 
       alongside the story of the judge's own marital troubles. A
       best-seller in North Korea, where Paek continues to live 
       and write, Friend illuminates a side of life in the DPRK 
       that Western readers have never before encountered. Far 
       from being a propagandistic screed in praise of the Great 
       Leader, Friend describes the lives of people who struggle 
       with everyday problems such as marital woes and workplace 
       conflicts. Instead of socialist-realist stock figures, 
       Paek depicts complex characters who wrestle with universal
       questions of individual identity, the split between public
       and private selves, the unpredictability of existence, and
       the never-ending labor of maintaining a relationship. This
       groundbreaking translation of one of North Korea's most 
       popular writers offers English-language readers a page-
       turner full of psychological tension as well as a 
       revealing portrait of a society that is typically seen as 
       closed to the outside world"--|cProvided by publisher.
