AAWWTV: Pachinko with Min Jin Lee & Ken Chen

Award-winning author Min Jin Lee stopped by the Tenement Museum for a reading and Q&A about her new book, Pachinko. Pachinko (Grand Central Publishing 2017) follows one Korean family through the generations, beginning in early 1900s Korea, and moving to Japan. The family endures harsh discrimination, catastrophes, and poverty, yet they also encounter great joy as they pursue their passions and rise to meet the challenges this new home presents. Through desperate struggles and hard-won triumphs, they are bound together by deep roots as their family faces enduring questions of faith, family, and identity. After her reading, Min Jin sat down for a discussion with Ken Chen, executive director of the Asian American Writers Workshop.
