ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Orphan Master's Son" by Adam Johnson is a novel that delves into the complex themes of identity and state control within a totalitarian regime. The narrative follows the journey of Jun Do, an orphan who becomes a series of different people through the demands of the state. He is forced to play roles, from a kidnapper to an intelligence officer, and ultimately, an imposter. The story also explores the work of an interrogator, whose job is to craft citizen biographies that support the government's ideology. The interrogator's own experiences are interwoven with the story, showing his gradual disillusionment with his work and the state. The book explores how individuals resist, survive, and are changed by a world where the truth is manipulated to serve those in power, and where personal stories are secondary to the state’s.
