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.","brand":"RANDOM HOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41504278315141,"sku":"PR399179","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/image_TNXEUSALFSLD.jpg?v=1769535342","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/chinatown","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
