For a month, Guy Delisle, author of *Pyongyang*, worked in Shenzhen as the director of a team of cartoonists on an animation project. During that time, his daily life was filled with misunderstandings, clumsy attempts at communication, reflections, loneliness, more or less pleasant culinary discoveries, and surreal evenings.
