BY KAREN BOSSICK

Adam Johnson won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for his novel “The Orphan’s Son,” which revolves around a model citizen who was raised in a North Korean orphanage where he defers to his father, the orphanage’s master.

At 14 he is conscripted into military service where he learns to kidnap Japanese citizens, never questioning his work. But when he becomes a signal operator on a fishing boat, intercepting radio transmissions, he comes to realize that what his leaders have told him about the outside world is a lie.

The Stanford University professor, who has spoken at the library before, will discuss his somewhat futuristic fiction and, perhaps, the oral tradition storytelling he learned as a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux tribe at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, at Ketchum’s Community Library.

Those wishing to see the program in person can reserve a seat at https://thecommunitylibrary.libcal.com/event/12768227. The program also will be livestreamed and available to watch at https://vimeo.com/event/4689028.
