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":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46727017365662,"sku":"UBD-9780241744369","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780241744369.jpg?v=1776491454","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780241744369","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
