Min Jin Lee | Musings & Writings: Asian-American Voices | Talks at Google

Bestselling author Min Jin Lee provides a masterclass on writing. In addition, she speaks about representation in media, fiction, non-fiction and her views on the evolving Asian-American identity.
In 2019, Apple ordered a television adaptation of Min’s New York Times bestselling book Pachinko, and President Barack Obama selected Pachinko for his recommended reading list, calling it “a powerful story about resilience and compassion.” Lee’s debut novel Free Food for Millionaires (2007) was listed on the Top 10 Books of the Year for The Times of London, NPR’s “Fresh Air,” and USA Today, and was a national bestseller. In 2019, Free Food for Millionaires was a finalist for One Book, One New York, a city-wide reading program. Lee’s work has also appeared in The New Yorker, NPR’s Selected Shorts, One Story, The New York Review of Books, The New York Times Magazine, The New York Times Book Review, The Times Literary Supplement, The Guardian, Conde Nast Traveler, The Times of London, and The Wall Street Journal.

Min Jin Lee is a brilliant writer yet she's very humble and down to earth. I very enjoyed the whole talk! I would love to take her class if there is a chance.

한글 자막 부탁드립니다 감사합니다

[@alexmac101]

The interviewer wasn’t even listening or resonating with anything that was being said. Waste of a great guest at a very dynamic point in time

[@saltag]

agree - she seems more interested in talking herself than really responding to what Lee is saying and explore those difficult subjects

[@jamesselden5407]

boring interview, sigh~

[@JConestar]

You should watch vids that show stupid dumb people doing stupid things, there are plenty on youtube. That would entertain you.
