With her critically acclaimed and internationally successful 2017 novel Pachinko, Min Jin Lee – this week’s At Your Service guest – crafted a work of art about powerful subject matter like immigration (and anti-immigrant sentiment), a woman’s role in a man’s world, motherhood, brotherhood, faith, war, substance abuse, and so much more. Today, Dua and Min join forces to talk about what a novel-writing process entails, what it took to make Pachinko a reality, and the projects coming next for the beloved author.
