The Pachinko Parlour Book Revuew by Elisa Shua Dusapin

Hello everyone and welcome to my new video where I talk about Elisa Shua Dupin's The Panchinko Parlour. I really liked this book because it was about identity of Koreans in Japan and also the relationship of a young woman and her grandparents. It took me down a rabbit warren learning more about the Japanese colonisation of Korea.

I want to read this - it sounds like one of those stories you don’t forget

[@SevenUnwokenDreams]

I loved this book, and her first one Winter in Sokcho. I think they're both underrated. I just found out she had another book translated into English last month and I must get my hands on it. Her books are so intimate.

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I agree wholeheartedly and I will be reading her latest in the next month.

Ive read some books by Japanese and Korean writers..The Vegetarian by Han Kang..Cold Enough for Snow by Jessica Au..Out by Natsuo Kirino and I love the freshness of these writers..not every book needs to start with 'a shot rang out' and novels that cook on a slow boil are just as good...your recommendation looks like a library reserve..great review

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

Thanks for this. I’ve not read Out by Natsuo Kirino nor The Vegetarian but I’ve just finished listening to Cold Enough for Snow which I liked. I love these type of books that are slower and reflective. All the suggestions people are recommending, I’m now putting into a Goodreads list for me to look for and read. So I’ve put yours on this too thank you. Yes, it’s a library book. Many of my books are borrowed as it can be an expensive hobby……

Me too. I taught in Japan in 2001. Pachinko is or was a big problem for the poor. Like scratchoffs in USA.

The Chrysanthemum and the Sword is a book of Japanese social history, fascinating. For me it was a page turner.

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

@@reaganwiles_art thanks for this. Pachinko was new for me and there might be a history there about it - and with what you said regarding it being a problem for some (I assume it may be addictive?). I'll look out for this book you recommend too. I'm fascinated by Japanese stories and want to read more.

Do you know about this book THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak? I've read this book three times and finished,

[@LifeLessonsFromBooks]

Yes, another great book!
