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.

评分東亞人皆苦啊
评分隻要國傢的概念還存在 移民就永遠是局外人 不管生活怎樣富足豐滿 仍是在異鄉的傢鄉流浪 所愛的所想要擺脫的都跟隨你一生 愛你的試圖嚮世界說明你的真相 而異族人選擇視而不見
评分引人入勝也有深度的很好的一部長篇小說
评分可以列入今年書單top10.1901-1989,跨越四代的韓國傢庭因殖民和戰爭移居日本的故事。作者很善於將曆史融入人物,通過他們讀者目睹瞭二戰,朝鮮日治,韓朝分離以及戰後數百萬韓國移民在日本的生活(zainichi)。他們中的許多人和其後的幾代人沒有祖國也無法迴到故土,忍受貧窮偏見歧視和屈辱還有對民族和身份的模糊。這個傢庭的幾代人都和柏青哥(遊戲廳)有聯係。在書裏柏青哥也是一種隱喻,普通人的決定有風險和隨機性,如遊戲機裏的彈珠。但都想心懷希望地努力搏一把。很喜歡這版的封麵,女性的堅韌和偉大。
