Min Jin Lee's new novel, American Hagwon, dramatizes Korean exceptionalism--the roots of it, the extent of it, like nothing else. Her story this week in the New Yorker is excerpted from the novel, a moving and powerful glimpse at one young man trying to pass a test: www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

I've said this before: Scholar friends, if you read an essay, chapter, or book that you like please DO tell the author! I can't tell you how much these notes mean to someone who feels like they are alone and simply writing into the void.

I just read Prof Kim's newest and it addresses so many fantastic questions I've had for a long time about *The Woman of Colour*, epistolary form, and Black liberation. Thank you!

So excited that UToledo library has a FIRST edition of Younghill Kang’s first novel, The Grass Roof (1931)! The novel is out of print, and this copy is in such good condition 🙏🏼 #librariesrule!

This is incredibly tragic. I had the pleasure of speaking at an MIT Libraries event last month and got to see the good work the do and the community they support. For a university of this caliber to shutter this many of its libraries--this is truly a travesty.
