Pachinko follows one Korean family through the generations, beginning in early 1900s Korea with Sunja, the prized daughter of a poor yet proud family, whose unplanned pregnancy threatens to shame them all. Deserted by her lover, Sunja is saved when a young tubercular minister offers to marry and bring her to Japan.
So begins a sweeping saga of an exceptional family in exile from its homeland and caught in the indifferent arc of history. Through desperate struggles and hard-won triumphs, its members are bound together by deep roots as they face enduring questions of faith, family, and identity.
Min Jin Lee’s Pachinko (Feb 2017) is a national bestseller, a New York Times Editor’s Choice and an American Booksellers Association’s Indie Next Great Reads.

评分感谢豆瓣与北京九志天达文化传媒有限公司惠书,让我能够第一时间读到这本小说。 作为一本新书而非经典重版,我不太想在这里进行文本解构或是人物剖析,因为这或多或少要涉及“泄底”,必然会很大程度上影响尚未读过本书的读者的阅读体验。等过上一段时间这本小说变成一个耳熟能...
评分昨天晚上读《柏青哥》,一部长篇小说。原本只想读个开头,没想到四个半小时沉浸在故事中。 读到最后一页,合上书,想起了我自己经历的一个故事。 和马赛开车去西峡湾的路上,聊到了共同的朋友:希拉。 希拉来自南非,和马赛是同事,在冰岛的地图公司上班。三十年前,那时希拉还...

评分刚看完这本小说,写在日本的韩国侨民的故事。美国正在热销,不知道有没有中译本。哪家出版社要出版?我想翻译
评分“历史辜负了我们,但是没有关系。”
评分每一代人对下一代的期待都不一样。
评分7。好像哪个短篇里说“写异国情调要的就是不解释” 这书里体现的挺好的 日文还是韩文通通都没footnotes. 日殖时期的韩国一家四代的生活 第一部分很好看明明只想简单翻翻没有忍住 但后半段很散。很多细节莫名的有共鸣 想到桂林路做石锅饭的韩国大婶的形象 身份的焦虑-渴望被认同为人类而不是某个地方的人 想要甩掉的标签和grandiose dreams 和命运的玩笑//有些词感觉略奇怪hug his grandmother's torso这种//有的比喻生动的可怕she crammed her mind the way she might have overfilled a pig intestine with blood sausage stuffing 也是很容易看饿的一本书_(:з」∠)_
