Call For Papers: In 2021 - KBC (SBL) is honored to host MIN JIN LEE, the author of PACHINKO. We will "intersect" this powerful four generation story of a Korean family in Japan (20th century) with biblical narratives that are framed in generational consciousness with themes of "exile," "home," "hope," "resilience," and "compassion." We will have a 45 minute Q & A with the author, Min Jin Lee. https://www.minjinlee.com/book/pachinko/ Here is what a reader said about Min Jin Lee's work: "This is a captivating book I read at the suggestion of a young staffer on my team — a historical novel about the Korean immigrant experience in wartime Japan. Min Jin Lee’s novel takes us through four generations and each character’s search for identity and success. It’s a powerful story about resilience and compassion.” – President Barack Obama
