Private Markets, Fashion Trends, Prison Camps, Dissenters, and Defectors illustrate the complexities of North Korea, a society under a violent dictatorship led by a single family. The regime's relentless pursuit of nuclear arms often leads to military clashes with the wealthier, liberal South, while the majority of the population is forced to participate in a "theater state" that neglects their wellbeing. The collapse of this anachronistic system in the 1990s resulted in a devastating famine that claimed countless lives but also transformed the lives of survivors. A lawless market economy emerged, replacing state employment and allowing dreams of trade and profit to flourish, despite the oppressive control of the Korean Workers' Party. This new society is increasingly influenced by outside information, spurred by the popularity of k-pop and the spread of video-carrying USB sticks. The book delves into the realities of modern North Korean life through seven engaging chapters, featuring interviews with experts and a diverse range of sources. It offers an insider's perspective on North Korean society, drawing from experiences of ruling family members, defectors, diplomats, NGOs, and cross-border traders, revealing the horror, innovation, and humor that coexist in this intriguing nation.

Frank Stella has become become among America's premier contemporary artists. Unlike many 20th century artists, Stella has always worked in abstraction. His art is irrepressible, daring, hugely enjoyable, and refreshingly angst-free. This book begins with the celebrated Black Paintings of 1959, moves on through the Minimalist Copper and Aluminium paintings of the early Sixties, to the exuberant Protractor series, the expansion into three dimensions in the 1970s, and closing with the 3-dimensional Polish Village, Exotic Birds and Brazilian 'maximalist' works of the 1980s and 1990s. Employing the most up-to-date art criticism of Frank Stella, James Pearson also looks at Stella's contemporaries: Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Kenneth Noland, Jules Olitski, Morris Louis, Robert Ryman, Brice Marden, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman among others.
