Pyongyang Porn

"Some readers may find the book objectionable"

Mhari Yi, who moved to Edinburgh to attend Napier University and stayed on to work, is excited as she embarks on a new side career as a budding author. She lived happily for ten years in Edinburgh with her “Hearts supporting boyfriend and their two cats named Kim and Jane,” she said in an interview.

On May 12, she published a book. On May 14, she wrote on her blog “I am so happy. My first book has been published!” But Miss Yi has also set another precedent: she is the first to penetrate the virgin North Korean porn market, dragging the famously thin-skinned and prudish dictatorship against their will into the hard core world of erotic literature.
