The Orphan Masters Son is a good one. You might never look at a can of peaches the same way. I have one on the shelf as a sort of shrine.

Not him but while I think The Cleanest Race's thesis is right (the DPRK is basically a fascist ethnostate whose legitimizing idea is indomitable resistance to foreign imperialism in order to preserve the Korean race) the author presents a lot of questionable suppositions as facts and barely even attempts to provide evidence that the ideology he's describing is anything more than halfhearted propaganda within the DPRK at this point.
