Min Jin Lee is a Korean-American writer whose work frequently deals with Korean American topics. Her latest novel is Pachinko, a page-turning saga about four generations of a poor Korean immigrant family as they fight to control their destiny in 20th-century Japan, exiled from a home they never knew. She talks to Róisín Ingle about the book, which was almost 30 years in the making, what Japan is like for Koreans today and why she is still happy to call herself an American citizen, despite Trump.
