A book talk with Min Jin Lee
PLEASE NOTE VENUE CHANGE: We have moved this event to a larger room, MIT 10-250, to try to accommodate everyone interested in attending.
Pachinko, a finalist for the 2017 National Book Award in Fiction, “chronicles four generations of an ethnic Korean family, first in Japanese-occupied Korea in the early 20th century, then in Japan itself from the years before World War II to the late 1980s”—New York Times.
About the speakers:

She has received the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship for Fiction; the Peden Prize from The Missouri Review for Best Story; The Narrative Prize for New and Emerging Writer; and, while at Yale, the Henry Wright Prize for Nonfiction and the James Ashmun Veech Prize for Fiction.

Her writing has appeared in various publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and New York Magazine.
