Min Jin Lee was at The Strand recently. On one hand I’m angry af, I would’ve loved to meet her. On the other hand, I admire her so much I don’t know if I could handle it. She’s one of my favorite authors. I’ve read all her novels, and am anxiously awaiting the third installment of her trilogy.
It’s not a trilogy in the traditional sense, where it’s the same characters carried over three books, rather it’s a singular thematic focus, the Korean diaspora. She starts off with Free Food For Millionaires and follows up with Pachinko, which still leaves me in despair. NOAH, why? After all she went through, after all we went through? Both vastly different books. Lee’s characters stain the mind forever. Have you read her novels? Which is your favorite? Via: Lee_MinJin
