Dua Lipa interviews the author of Service95 Book Club’s July Monthly Read, Pachinko.
At the heart of Pachinko is a powerful question about the people history leaves behind. From the immigrant experience and the realities of living as an outsider, to motherhood, faith and the role of women in a patriarchal society, Min’s novel explores the forces that shape our lives – and the resilience it takes to find your place in the world. Dua and Min discuss the years of research, dedication and creative persistence behind bringing this extraordinary story to life, as well as the challenges and possibilities of writing complex, flawed and deeply human characters.
A conversation about the power of literature to expand our understanding of the world, the importance of preserving stories that might otherwise go unheard, and what it means to see ourselves – and others – reflected on the page.
