Terra Dankowski writes: “Min Jin Lee has notched career milestones that few authors reach. Her immigration saga Pachinko was both a National Book Award finalist and a New York Times Top 10 Best Book of 2017. Lee is also a Guggenheim fellow and the first Korean American to hold the role of New York State author laureate. Her latest title, American Hagwon (Cardinal, September), examines the influence of Korean ‘cram schools’ among families in the Korean diaspora. American Libraries spoke with Lee about her new book, the library that shaped her, and her antidote to book bans.”
