It's probably going a bit far to call this an LGBT novella: much of the time it reads rather as though Stichmann originally wrote Claudia as a man and only changed the gender to make it more interesting when his publisher complained that there were already too many susceptible westerner/mysterious Asian stories out there. But it's still a worthwhile little story: Even if Claudia is rather flat and passive, Sunmi is an attractively complex character, and her mix of 21st century Asian communism and 18th century German romanticism is fun to listen to. We get to go (slightly) beyond the tourist surface of North Korea, and the plot has enough ambiguities to keep it interesting.
