I meant to post something about this a while ago... For those of you in Los Angeles, Giant Robot and Liberty in North Korea are hosting a book signing tomorrow evening with Laura Ling and Lisa Ling, co-authors of Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and the Other's Fight to Bring Her Home
. It's happening Saturday, July 17 at GR2. Here are some more details: Laura Ling and Lisa Ling Book Signing - Somewhere Inside Sat 7/17/10An interview with Laura Ling about her experience and her book also appears in the new issue of Giant Robot. I still haven't had a chance to pick up this book yet, but I do definitely want to read it. I don't think Laura and Lisa have done many signings (if any), so this is a pretty cool opportunity. For more information about the signing, visit the GR2 website here or the Facebook event page here.

Giant Robot and Liberty in North Korea (LiNK) are proud to host a joint book signing with Laura Ling and Lisa Ling, co-authors of Somewhere Inside. (WE WILL HAVE BOOKS FOR SALE!)
Laura Ling was vice president of Current TV's investigative journalism series Vanguard, and also served as an on-air correspondent for the show. Prior to joining Current in 2005, Laura worked as a series producer for Channel One News.
Lisa Ling is a correspondent for the Oprah Winfrey Show, and a contributor to ABC's Nightline and the National Geographic channel. She was also a co-host of ABC's The View until 2002.
Somewhere Inside is the electrifying, never-before-told story of Laura Ling's capture by the North Koreans in March 2009, and the efforts of her sister, journalist Lisa Ling, to secure Laura's release by former President Bill Clinton. This riveting true account of the first-ever trial of an American citizen in North Korea's highest court carries readers deep inside the world's most secretive nation while it poignantly explores the powerful, inspiring bonds of sisterly love.
