"[Jeppesen] knows how to talk about art, and hecomes alive in his granular analyses of what he dubs 'Norkore' propagandamusic and regime-approved 'Norkorealist' painting.... He captures[North Koreans'] entrepreneurial spirit, and hidden love of foreign media, aswell as their dreams and their fears.... What makes See You Again in Pyongyang worth reading is the tension between the bold explorer and the impenetrablecountry, the feeling of frustration in the face of lies and exclusion andpetrified resistance."-- Los Angeles Times
