Jinwoo Park is a Korean Canadian writer based in Montreal, and he writes with authority regarding the experience of immigrants. With a master’s in creative writing from the University of Oxford, he vividly depicts the setting. His debut novel is Oxford Soju Club, which is a dark exploration of the Korean diaspora experience in the West - on the surface a grim spy thriller set in London - but it allows the high stakes exploration of the lives of North and South Korean immigrants. A true diaspora maintains a strong, continuous emotional, cultural, or political connection to their ancestral country while engaging with a new community, and this book shows the dark side of the struggle to balance conflicting ideologies and purposes.
