Celebrate the launch of Adelaide Writers’ Week with a special event with acclaimed writer Min Jin Lee, who will discuss her highly anticipated new novel American Hagwon, the follow-up to her global bestseller Pachinko.
Set against the backdrop of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the novel centres on the Koh family as its members reckon with personal dreams and inherited duty. As the world shifts around them, profound questions emerge: What are we willing to sacrifice for the people we love? What does it mean to live a good life?
With her characteristic compassion and insight, Lee examines what happens when the promise of a better life collides with the overwhelming pressure of expectation. Lee speaks to Michael Williams.
