The North Korean defector, human rights advocate, and bestselling author of In Order to Live sounds the alarm on the culture wars, identity politics, and authoritarian tendencies tearing America apart.
After defecting from North Korea, Yeonmi Park found liberty and freedom in America. But she also found a chilling crackdown on self-expression and thought that reminded her of the brutal regime she risked her life to escape. When she spoke out about the mass political indoctrination she saw around her in the United States, Park faced censorship and even death threats.

In While Time Remains, Park highlights the dangerous hypocrisies, mob tactics, and authoritarian tendencies that speak in the name of wokeness and social justice. No one is spared in her eye-opening account, including the elites who claim to care for the poor and working classes but turn their backs on anyone who dares to think independently.

Park arrived in America eight years ago with no preconceptions, no political aims, and no partisan agenda. With urgency and unique insight, the bestselling author and human rights activist reminds us of the fragility of freedom, and what we must do to preserve it.

      Narrator Maureen Taylor voices this political memoir in a soft, breathy voice. Her gentle delivery of difficult subject matter helps listeners process the horrors of the author's past, which led to her present-day politics. At the same time, Taylor's straightforward tone and consistent pacing emphasize the audiobook's solemnity. Author Yeonmi Park defected from North Korea in 2007, never imagining that the freedom she sought in America would be as full of the same hypocrisies and authoritarianism as the regime she left behind. This right-wing memoir details the author's personal experiences while attending Columbia University, where, in Park's view, students received praise for regurgitating their professors' political opinions, rather than their own ability to hold a critical discussion. Taylor's approachable performance embodies the author's sentiments. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
