In 'Chinatown' a young girl living on the edge of the city's Chinese community comes of age among mundane violences, collisions with adult sexuality and the American occupation; in 'The Garden Party' a woman grapples with her conflicting identities of wife, mother and writer at an alcohol-fuelled gathering. Throughout a career spanning six decades, Oh Jung-hee has drawn comparisons to Alice Munro, Virginia Woolf, and Joyce Carol Oates, and is assuredly a trailblazing writer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jung-hee, Oh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54304372392263,"sku":"9780241744369","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/6675\/5143\/files\/9780241744369.jpg?v=1783420326","url":"https:\/\/borderlessbooks.myshopify.com\/products\/9780241744369","provider":"Borderless Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
