Cha’s work manifests in nine parts structured around the Greek Muses. Deploying a variety of texts, documents, images, and forms of address and inquiry, Cha links these women’s stories to explore the trauma of dislocation and the fragmentation of memory it causes. The result is an enduringly powerful, beautiful, unparalleled work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470424719596,"sku":"9780520390478","price":47.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780520390478-dictee.jpg?v=1775219107","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/dictee-by-theresa-hak-kyung-cha-9780520390478","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
