From Goodreads I admit that work prevented me from finishing this book before its release date. However, I'm so glad that I took the time to slowly savour Jinwoo Park's debut novel "Oxford Soju Club." I don't think I would have enjoyed the reading experience if I'd rushed my reading, At its heart, "Oxford Soju Club" is a story about transnationalism and the Korean disaspora. It's a story about how one finds their place in the world when home has changed and our relationships/surroundings/roles have changed in such profound ways. I do feel that Park's novel suffered having too many main characters and not enough depth or development. It's a shorter novel, so even the setting and environment felt undeveloped. Yet, the story still worked, and if you're a fan of stories that are more plot-heavy, then this story could work for you. I appreciate what Park's story and writing aimed to do, and I don't think it's wasn't succes...
