Pachinko (National Book Award Finalist)
Min Jin LeeLilly DancygerI just devoured @lee_minjin’s Pachinko... All of the hype is warranted and more.... When I got to the acknowledgements and learned that this book was 30 years in the making, I was relieved. It feels like a life’s work, because it is. (It was also especially cool to read it having just been in Korea and Japan...)

The Crane Wife: A Memoir in Essays
Cj HauserLilly Dancyger@miciahbay I found CJ Hauser’s The Crane Wife (the whole book, not just the title essay… though that one too) very charming!! I think it had a lot to do with voice, an easy intimacy that felt casual and natural but not in an affected “am I right guys” kind of way
