Episode Notes
In this thrilling episode of This Korean Life, we sit down with Oliver Harris, a celebrated novelist with stories that span both the page and the pavement. Fresh off his surreal journey to North Korea, Oliver recounts the once-in-a-lifetime experience of running the Pyongyang International Marathon — from entering the stadium in front of 100,000 spectators to pounding the pavement through the heart of one of the world's most secretive cities. 🏟️🛣️
But the adventure doesn’t stop there. We also dive into his newly released novel, Shame Archive, a gripping and thought-provoking work. Whether you’re a fan of boundary-pushing travel, literary exploration, or just a good story well told, this episode will take you on a fascinating journey into both real and fictional worlds.
