@jaehakim.comReposted by @minjinlee.bsky.social"Whenever people ask my mother, 'How did you send all 3 of your daughters to law school?' she says, 'I don’t know. I didn’t do anything.' She has this educational attitude that your kid will show you what they want to do." —AMERICAN HAGWON bestselling author @minjinlee.bsky.social

American Hagwon by Min Jin Lee is as absorbing as the blurb promises. With The Art of Fielding Chad Harbach created characters in a world many of us never wanted to leave. His latest is as good. What will you read next?

@jaehakim.comReposted by @minjinlee.bsky.socialAMERICAN HAGWON author @minjinlee.bsky.social said growing up in NY "allowed me to really see my experience as being central. I think that I never felt like this statistical anomaly, because New York is made up of statistical anomalies, minorities and immigrants."

@minjinlee.bsky.socialAs a teenager, I dreamed of having my fiction published in The New Yorker. The short story “Testing” adapted from my forthcoming novel American Hagwon appears in the July 27, 2026 issue. Four decades later and not too late.
