If you’ve read and enjoyed either of Min Jin Lee’s two novels, Free Food For Millionaires or the National Book Award Finalist Pachinko, and you want to dig a little deeper into the author’s life, her process and what motivates her to write, treat yourself to this interview with her on The Literary Life podcast. Lee discusses a whole range of topics including the financial lives of writers, becoming a lawyer because she didn’t believe writing to be a sustainable career, the unsuspected success of Pachinko, what she looks for in a writer and book, and why she considers her next novel to be the third in a trilogy—the first two being Free Food For Millionaires and Pachinko—about the Korean Diaspora.
