About
Join Talking Volumes for an unforgettable evening with Min Jin Lee, the acclaimed author of Pachinko, as she discusses American Hagwon, her sweeping new novel of family, ambition, and survival across decades and continents. Following the Koh family from Korea to Sydney to Southern California, Lee traces the sacrifices, betrayals, and enduring hopes that shape immigrant life and the pursuit of opportunity. Rich with emotional depth and panoramic in scope, American Hagwon explores education, identity, love, and the price families pay to secure a better future for the next generation. Lee’s work is celebrated for its moral clarity, literary grace, and deep compassion for ordinary lives lived under extraordinary pressures. Don’t miss the chance to hear one of today’s most admired novelists in conversation at The O’Shaughnessy Auditorium for what promises to be one of the season’s most stirring literary events.
