Phoebe asked this question about
Pachinko:
What did you make of Koh Hansu versus Yoseb? For much of the book, I couldn't quite understand why there was such uncomplicated hatred for Hansu. Most likely, he saved everybody's life, multiple times and in multiple ways. It is only toward the end that the author includes a very vivid example of his brutality, which I imagine was deliberate––maybe to shame anyone for feeling tacitly supportive of him?
