Sin Gospodara Siročadi

Adam Johnson

The Orphan Master's Son (2012) by Adam Johnson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning dystopian novel set in North Korea. This is no ordinary book, it strikes and hurts where true stories only arise - in the depths of ourselves.

The story follows Pak Jun-do, a young man whose life reflects the brutality and absurdity of Kim Jong-il's totalitarian regime. The son of an orphanage director, Jun-do is raised in harsh conditions, and his loyalty to the state is tested through a series of dramatic roles: from soldier and kidnapper to wiretap operator and gulag prisoner.

The novel is divided into two parts: "The Biography of Citizen Pak Jun-do" and "Confessions of Commander Gao". Jun-do undergoes a series of trials, including kidnappings by Japanese people, working on a fishing boat, and a fake diplomatic mission in Texas. He falls in love with Sun-moon, an actress and symbol of regime propaganda, which brings him into conflict with the powerful Commander Gao, whose identity he assumes in a desperate attempt to survive. The story, told through a mixture of Jun-do’s memories, propaganda announcements, and the confessions of other characters, reveals the absurdity and cruelty of North Korean reality.

Johnson masterfully combines satire, tragedy, and dark humor, exploring themes of identity, freedom, and sacrifice. Jun-do's struggle to preserve his humanity in a dehumanizing system forms the core of the novel, while the ending suggests a tragic but courageous confrontation with impossible choices. The novel offers a profound insight into a closed society, while simultaneously universally questioning the power of story and truth.
