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.

評分對於順子來說,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 評分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...

評分東亞人皆苦啊
評分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)
評分A real page-turner! 很久沒讀到讓人這麼酣暢的小說,講述四代朝鮮移民在日本社會艱難生存的傢族傳奇故事,時間綫跨越近一個世紀。李敏錦沒有花太多筆墨在時代背景,卻通過非常踏實甚至親密的人物描寫帶齣戰爭和殖民對人性的摧殘,和對種族、性彆和移民的深刻影響,曆史學和法學背景深厚功底可見一斑,也與她自己同樣身為移民不無關係。 雖然是英文寫就,但撲麵而來的是東亞獨特的文化和人物性格,因為常看日韓劇而學到的詞匯也在讀這本書時派上瞭用場。 讀完纔理解瞭開篇引用的托爾斯泰: History has failed us, but no matter.
評分雖然整體是不錯的故事也非常詳細記錄瞭在日本的韓國移民的生活,但是越到後麵越是拖遝、流水賬,稀釋瞭整本書的立意。
