A major voice promoting the reputation of modern Korean female writers, Oh Jung-hee has produced a collection of short stories that detail the toll rapid modernization has taken on family life. Her command of language and use of stream-of-consciousness narrative have yielded some of modern Korean literature's most memorable stories. Some of her translated books have earned her comparisons to such accomplished writers as Virginia Woolf, Joyce Carol Oates and Alice Munro. The stories included here represent three decades of work. "Chinatown" is a coming-of-age story set in the westernmost port city of Incheon. "Wayfarer" is a poignant account of a woman betrayed by her family and society. "The Release" portrays a mother and daughter united by tragedy. Born in 1947, Oh has concentrated on short fiction, often using broken families as a metaphor for a society in social, political and spiritual crisis. She has received Korea's two most prestigious short-fiction awards: the Yi Sang Literature Prize in 1979 for "Evening Game" (Jeonyeogui geim) and the Dongin Literary Prize in 1982 for "The Bronze Mirror" (Donggyeong).
