The October book selection for the Global Book Series is Without You, There is No Us: My Time with the Sons of North Korea’s Elite by Suki Kim.
“Strangely terrifying…A beautifully written book that greatly expands the limited bounds of what we know about North Korea’s ruling class.”
—Barbara Demick, author of Nothing to Envy
