Osaka · 2017 · citedPachinko
Min Jin Lee
The Osaka of a Korean family who cross the strait and never quite arrive: the Ikaino ghetto where they are packed into a lane of tin-roofed houses, and the Tsuruhashi market where the women build a life from a kimchi cart and, in time, a sweets stall. The book's Osaka is a working city of tenements and railway arches; its edges reach back to Busan and forward to Yokohama.
