Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer’s Pick: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee
"Pachinko gives us a moving and detailed portrait about what it’s like to sit at the nexus of two cultures, and what it means to forge a home in a place that doesn’t always welcome you." Fusion
"Brilliant, subtle…griping…What drives this novel is the magisterial force of Lee's characterization… As heartbreaking as it is compelling, PACHINO is a timely meditation on all that matters to humanity in an age of mass migration and uncertainty." South China Morning Post Magazine
