Chinatown by Oh Jung-hee

5.0

Read for my Intro to Modern Korean Literature class. Another favorite of mine! Just one of those that you have to read for yourself. A decidedly feminist story that focuses heavily on the female characters and takes place in the 1950s, we get to see the beginnings of American influence on the general Korean population with the character Maggie and her daughter Jennie. Again, I can't even begin to describe how much I love this story. The ending is really a gut-punch, loved it.
