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":"Oh Jung-hee","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":48107319066867,"sku":"9780241744369","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780241744369.jpg?v=1762973992","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/chinatown-oh-jung-hee-9780241744369","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
