Really interesting interview in The New York Times with Min Jin Lee talking about education and her new novel, American Hagwon. (I think the NYT is offering a free trial subscription atm) #americanhagwon #minjinlee #kdrama #booksky #newyorktimes

Reading The New York Times Magazine article, The Outsider, about author Min Jin Lee, reminds me when I hosted her when “Pachinko” came out. Now I’m thrilled to see she’s promoting her latest novel, “American Hagwon.”

I’ve been waiting for you #booksky 📚💙 🖋️📚 #AmericanHagwon by #MinJinLee

This photo shows the cover of the novel American Hagwon by Min Jin Lee. The cover of American Hagwon features a deep blue background with the title in large, stylized gold lettering at the top and the author's name, Min Jin Lee, in matching gold at the bottom. The central graphic is a large, bright red apple. Inside the apple, there is an illustration of a cityscape, and several small figures of people are shown walking along the top edge of the apple's lower half, as if walking up a hill toward the city.

The sprayed features a series of blue illustrations set against a backdrop of stylized mountains. From top to bottom, the scenes include traditional Korean architecture, a suspension bridge resembling the Golden Gate Bridge with palm trees, the Sydney Opera House alongside another building, and a modern city skyline with skyscrapers

The audiobook of Min Jin Lee’s ‘AMERICAN HAGWON’, narrated by Yerin Ha in English and Korean, is out now.

The story follows the Koh family as they move from Korea to Sydney to Southern California between the 1990s and 2008.
