Pachinko by Min Jin Lee: Not the Step-Dad but the Dad Who Didn't Flop

In this week's episode, we discuss Min Jin Lee's Pachinko, the Japanese colonization of Korea, intergenerational trauma, and just how many side characters is too many.

Five or Flop is a podcast dedicated to the best and worst historical fiction has to offer. Each week we'll be reading a new book and rating it on a scale of flop, fine, or five. The theme for Season Two is Booktok and Bestsellers.
