From 2007 to 2011, Min Jin lived in Tokyo where she researched and wrote Pachinko. She lives in New York with her family.
Pachinko follows one Korean family through the generations, beginning in early 1900s Korea with Sunja, the prized daughter of a poor yet proud family, whose unplanned pregnancy threatens to shame them all. Deserted by her lover, Sunja is saved when a young tubercular minister offers to marry and bring her to Japan.
So begins a sweeping saga of an exceptional family in exile from its homeland and caught in the indifferent arc of history. Through desperate struggles and hard-won triumphs, its members are bound together by deep roots as they face enduring questions of faith, family, and identity.

其實看到這本書的書名,我一直以為它寫的是一個人,原來,它想要錶達的是一個時代,一個動蕩不安、流離失所、他鄉即故鄉的時代。 時至今日,我們依然可以看到類似的新聞,譬如華人在一些國傢和區域被區彆對待、被歧視的種種遭遇,在文明高度發達的現代社會依然如此,在我們的祖...

好韓劇模式啊,男一霸道總裁hansu,男二溫柔善良isaki,連車禍癌癥這種套路元素都不缺。作者也並不擅長情感描述嘛,沒從女主sunja身上感到任何大悲大喜。這書怎麼bestseller呢?當然可能我是帶著偏見的,就像我覺得crazy rich asians是爛片。
評分7。好像哪個短篇裏說“寫異國情調要的就是不解釋” 這書裏體現的挺好的 日文還是韓文通通都沒footnotes. 日殖時期的韓國一傢四代的生活 第一部分很好看明明隻想簡單翻翻沒有忍住 但後半段很散。很多細節莫名的有共鳴 想到桂林路做石鍋飯的韓國大嬸的形象 身份的焦慮-渴望被認同為人類而不是某個地方的人 想要甩掉的標簽和grandiose dreams 和命運的玩笑//有些詞感覺略奇怪hug his grandmother's torso這種//有的比喻生動的可怕she crammed her mind the way she might have overfilled a pig intestine with blood sausage stuffing 也是很容易看餓的一本書_(:з」∠)_
評分NYPL. 3.22-4.8, 5.8-5.18. A touch of the intricacy of history, nationality, love and ignorance, something adding to my daily despair about the world.
評分Same wine, new bottle. 有一個印象,感覺很多現代小說會寫幾代人的故事,這樣每代的背景不一樣,人物自然也會多起來,故事情節豐富瞭,讓讀者長時間沉浸在敘述中,就像一續幾十上百集的那種電視劇,難免對故事日久生情,很難再從客觀的立場去評價寫作。我們是不是應該跳脫齣來好好想想是不是被套路瞭?=͟͟͞͞(꒪⌓꒪
評分讀完本書後,有些理解為什麼在南非世界杯上,成長在日本的鄭大世聽著朝鮮國歌淚流滿麵瞭。
