Suki Kim in conversation with Salil Tripathi
Korea and North East Asia’s security concerns crucially impact the rest of the world. Award-winning Korean American writer Suki Kim , born and raised in South Korea, moved to the United States when she was 13. Her NY Times bestselling book, Without You There is No Us is a gripping first hand account of being undercover in Pyongyang, North Korea and her interactions with the young elite of the isolationist state. In conversation with writer and journalist Salil Tripathi, she speaks of the divergent histories of the two Koreas, the cult of the Kim family, lipstick diplomacy, and the role of the nuclear programme to North Korean identity, in the context of her riveting book.
