A Korean family is willing to sacrifice everything for their children’s education, in the third book in Lee’s Diaspora Quartet “An excellent hagwon,” according to one of the characters in Min Jin Lee’s new novel, “is everything.” Every year, Korean parents pay hefty sums to send their children to these private after-school academies designed to turbocharge academic performance, where they spend evenings and weekends being drilled in mathematics, reasoning and essay technique. In the third book in what she has called her Diaspora Quartet – a follow-up to 2017’s Pachinko , recently named one of the New York Times’s top 100 books of the 21st century – she presents the fierce competition to snag a spot at those hagwons deemed the best as symptomatic of Korea’s scarcity mindset: in a country where university places and white-collar jobs are hard to come by, everyone’s looking for an edge. But over the course of the novel’s 650 pages, they also come to stand as symbols of pretty much everything you can think of: of country and culture; of failure and success; of responsibility, or the lack of it; of what it means to achieve, and of what, in the final analysis, the purpose of our achievements might be. The action in American Hagwon unspools over nearly three decades, and crisscrosses from Seoul to Sydney to California and back to Seoul again. At its centre is the Koh family: John, Helen and their three children, Bo, DH and Mido. When the novel opens in 1992, their life in Korea appears comfortably middle-class – John is a senior manager at a multinational corporation; Helen is an upmarket saleswoman, her commissions covering the children’s hagwon fees. But they are dramatically capsized: first by a personal betrayal and then again, in a brutal one-two, by the financial crisis that clobbered Asia in the late 90s. The family move, then later move once more: sometimes together, more often following their own trajectories; but always connected, and supporting one another as op

The near future-set political thriller which depicted Texas and California as wartime allies is being hailed as predicting the midterms.

From Glenn Close in pleather to naughty rumours about Bruno Mars, this legal drama is still absolutely ludicrous. But squint hard enough and it has slightly improved since its zero-star debut On the one hand, Trump and the Maga movement have been routed in the midterms. On the other, the second season of All’s Fair is out. Truly, the lord giveth and the lord taketh away. For those of you who have blanked the first season from your mind, All’s Fair is the existentially terrible offering from Ryan Murphy ’s increasingly manure-filled stable, starring Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts and, absolutely unaccountably, Glenn Close as the super-duper lawyers of an all-female California divorce firm. Sarah Paulson plays their bananas enemy lawyer, Carrington Lane. And if you think that is some rum work pulled at the font, the other characters labour under the monikers Allura, Emerald and Liberty. Close gets off lightly with Dina, which I hope suggests she has at least some clout left in this strange business we call show. Continue reading...

I was a fan of the film, so when it came on the market, I snapped it up. Now I allow other fans to come and stay in this piece of Hollywood history I first saw Poltergeist at the movie theatre with my mom and sisters, back when it came out in 1982. I remember being scared, especially during the part when the toy clown drags little Robbie Freeling under the bed. At that age, the idea of a family experiencing something terrifying in the kind of everyday suburban house I was familiar with made a big impression. Later, it became a ritual of mine to put the movie on every Halloween. I grew up in the Chicago area, but moved to California in the early 90s to go to art college. My sister moved there, too – to Simi Valley, not far from the house used as the Freeling family’s home in the movie. I’d drive past it when I visited her. A couple of years ago, I had a gut instinct that it would soon go up for sale. Sure enough, just weeks later I was sitting with my sister in her back yard when she looked up from her phone and said, “Hey! The Poltergeist house went on the market!” Continue reading...
