Pachinko
I know this is meant to be a newsletter for “hip” and “new” content, but I was embarrassingly behind the ball and had not read PACHINKO until this break. If you, like me, have not read PACHINKO, I am here to tell you to stop whatever you are reading and pick it up! And if you truly live under a rock and don’t even know what it is: PACHINKO is a sweeping narrative following one Korean family over several generations as its members are forced to flee Korea and live in Japan. It’s a gorgeously written, totally heartbreaking story about the lengths we go to for family (and for survival). Don’t be that person who only reads the book after the Apple series comes out...
