+1 for pachinko. Incredible book with excellent writing. As someone who reads a lot of books by wealthy white American men this was a refreshing change of pace.

  A book about a Korean family saga is named after Japanese gambling machines? Bizarre.

    Bizarre as in "couldn't be bothered to google a summary to see that is about a Korean family in Japan"?

      And, further, it’s frequently considered low class to be associated with Pachinko in Japanese culture, so it’s very common for Pachinko parlor owners to be Korean-Japanese.

      Why, when you can get one here from a live fellow hacker-newster; thanks.
