The story of The Accusation is as exciting as fiction itself. It was written in secret by an apparently disillusioned North Korean state writer, and smuggled outside the country inside a copy of The Collected Works of Kim Il-Sung. It depicts in start detail the terrifying realities of life under the brutal regime, and is a best-seller in South Korea and France. Join writers, activists, and musicians to mark its paperback publication in English with readings, performances, and conversation. Among guests: Min Jin Lee, author of Pachinko and finalist for the 2017 National Book Award, activst Do Hee-yun, who helped smuggle the manuscript.
