Friend: A Novel from North Korea (Korean: 벗) is a 1988 novel by Paek Nam-nyong. It is one of the few non-dissident North Korean works to be translated into English, with Columbia University Press releasing its translation in 2020. Immanuel Kim was the translator. The book has 16 chapters. E. Tammy Kim of The New York Times wrote that "autobiographical" elements are in the work. Nicholas Gattig in the Japan Times wrote that as the work was published in North Korea, it does not have secret subversion.
