Opis

In this notable collection of stories, Oh Jung-hee delves into the hidden depths of ordinary lives to reveal family structures distorted by abandonment, mental illness, and death. In "Chinatown," a young girl on the outskirts of a city's Chinese community grows up amidst everyday violence, encounters with adult sexuality, and the backdrop of American occupation. Meanwhile, in "The Garden Party," a woman wrestles with her roles as a wife, mother, and writer during a drink-laden event. Over a career that spans six decades, Oh Jung-hee has been compared to literary figures like Alice Munro, Virginia Woolf, and Joyce Carol Oates, establishing herself as a pioneering author.
