{"product_id":"chinatown","title":"Chinatown","description":"A selection of the best short stories by Oh Jung-hee, one of South Korea's most influential writers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this emblematic selection of her stories, Oh Jung-hee probes beneath the surface of seemingly quotidian lives to expose nightmarish family configurations warped by desertion, psychosis, and death. 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":"Penguin Books Ltd (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57586131632454,"sku":"9780241744369","price":13.44,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/350bc706090f7e1a0572b26476afd5d768c4006385cb6669869de1be6a2212e0.jpg?v=1791881114","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/en\/products\/chinatown","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
