"Whenever people ask my mother, 'How did you send all 3 of your daughters to law school?' she says, 'I don’t know. I didn’t do anything.' She has this educational attitude that your kid will show you what they want to do." —AMERICAN HAGWON bestselling author @minjinlee.bsky.social

It’s Min Jin Lee’s World

And we’re lucky to be a part of it through her exceptional novels “American Hagwon,” “Pachinko,” and “Free Food for Millionaires”

Did you know that Min Jin Lee, Marlon James, Deesha Philyaw, and Hernan Diaz ALL HAVE NOVELS COMING OUT THE SAME DAY? September 29, by the way. Fall books on my mind on an April weekend, sigh.

Currently finishing Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. Devastating. I've had to put the book down several times to cope. The author paints family so well. I know the studies say men don't read fiction, but I'm adding sexy, exclusive book club to my dates. Tell me what you're reading; let's discuss, naked.
