Min Jin Lee (born 1968) is a Korean American writer whose work frequently deals with Korean American topics.[1] She is the author of the novels Free Food for Millionaires (2007) and Pachinko (2017). Her debut novel, Free Food for Millionaires, was one of the "Top 10 Novels of the Year" for The Times (London), NPR's Fresh A ir, and USA Today. Her short fiction has been featured on NPR's Selected Shorts. Her writings have appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, The Times (London), Vogue, Travel+Leisure, Wall Street Journal, New York Times Magazine, and Food & Wine. Her essays and literary criticism have been anthologized widely. She served as a columnist for the Chosun Ilbo, the leading paper of South Korea. She lives in New York with her family.
In the early 1900s, teenaged Sunja, the adored daughter of a crippled fisherman, falls for a wealthy stranger at the seashore near her home in Korea. He promises her the world, but when she discovers she is pregnant-and that her lover is married-she refuses to be bought. Instead, she accepts an offer of marriage from a gentle, sickly minister passing through on his way to Japan. But her decision to abandon her home, and to reject her son's powerful father, sets off a dramatic saga that will echo down through the generations.
Richly told and profoundly moving, Pachinko is a story of love, sacrifice, ambition, and loyalty. From bustling street markets to the halls of Japan's finest universities to the pachinko parlors of the criminal underworld, Lee's complex and passionate characters-strong, stubborn women, devoted sisters and sons, fathers shaken by moral crisis-survive and thrive against the indifferent arc of history.

评分 评分引人入胜也有深度的很好的一部长篇小说
评分History has failed us, but no matter.It's a grand gesture to lay out a century's history in one novel, especially a history as complicated as this, involving national oppression and a special immigrant group. The first two parts are mostly dramatic and fascinating. It's not a story just about a person or a family after all.
评分gripping story that spans 4 generations, different ways of being korean in japan, really a soap opera colored by the weight of history (young girl's affair and pregnancy, poverty of korean slum in osaka, korean mafia, pachinko business)
评分多多少少了解了一下韩国人和日本人。
评分四代移民的辛酸,生活越来越好,然而不变的是对自己身份认同的挣扎。后半段无关人物介绍得太多,个体的发展又不够,读起来没有前半部那么精彩。最爱Sunja和Isak以及Hansu的爱恨纠葛。大概多数女人都被一生挚爱伤透了心,然后嫁给了一个全心爱自己的好男人
