The poetry of Dong Ju and the prose of JM Lee are a delight. The story feels allegorical because it requires suspension of disbelief and common sense – as exemplified by choosing an illiterate to become the prison censor, teaching him to read and write and thereby giving him the soul of a poet. That seems so unlikely, but it does not matter, enjoy the beautiful prose that glows among the ugliness of a brutal prison.
