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.

對於順子來說,日本當然不是故鄉,她的故鄉是在今天韓國濟州的影島,但她在十六、七歲的時候來到日本之後,直到七十歲的時候,她都沒有離開過日本——她以後還有沒有機會離開日本,迴到濟州的影島去看一看,小說中沒有說,似乎也不必說。總而言之,在日本,她永遠都被視為外國...
評分昨天晚上讀《柏青哥》,一部長篇小說。原本隻想讀個開頭,沒想到四個半小時沉浸在故事中。 讀到最後一頁,閤上書,想起瞭我自己經曆的一個故事。 和馬賽開車去西峽灣的路上,聊到瞭共同的朋友:希拉。 希拉來自南非,和馬賽是同事,在冰島的地圖公司上班。三十年前,那時希拉還...
評分感謝豆瓣與北京九誌天達文化傳媒有限公司惠書,讓我能夠第一時間讀到這本小說。 作為一本新書而非經典重版,我不太想在這裏進行文本解構或是人物剖析,因為這或多或少要涉及“泄底”,必然會很大程度上影響尚未讀過本書的讀者的閱讀體驗。等過上一段時間這本小說變成一個耳熟能...

評分讀到最後纔忽然意識到,盡管時代背景曆經日據、二戰、朝韓戰爭,但作者始終以近乎平淡的筆觸來描述幾代人的經曆。平淡得來,仍然讓人手不釋捲,被主人公的命運深深吸引。實在想感慨,大時代之中人真是身不由己啊,明明對比身邊的人,sunja一傢人已經是幸運之極瞭,卻還是飽嘗種種艱辛和屈辱,在故土和傢之間漂泊,就好像是無法擺脫的宿命在血液裏流淌。但即便如此,生活在其中的人,隻要還有一口氣還想活下去,就要與之對抗。
