What made Min Jin Lee ‘fully aware’ of life’s fragility
Author Min Jin Lee says she takes every day “very seriously” as she’s “fully aware” of her mortality.
“I am fully aware that people die, and you don’t get to choose when to go. You could be rich or poor. It doesn’t make any difference,” she said. “When it’s time to go, it’s time to go.”
Lee, author of “Pachinko” and “Free Food for Millionaires,” continues her exploration of the Korean diaspora in her new novel, “American Hagwon.”
She joined Amna Nawaz for the latest episode of PBS News’ podcast, Settle In, to discuss her new book, her leap from corporate law to fiction and more.
