Theresa Hak Kyung Cha

Wikipedia

 

Theresa Hak Kyung Cha (1951-1982) was an American novelist most famous for her 1982 work, Dictee.

She was born in Pusan, Korea, outside of Seoul during the Korean War. Her family eventually moved to the United States and settled in California. She received her B.A. and M.A. in Comparative Literature and an M.F.A.from the University of California, Berkeley. After leaving CAL, she moved to Paris where she studied filmmaking and critical theory before returning to the Bay Area as a filmmaker and performance artist. Cha's interdisciplinary background is clearly evident in Dictee which experiments with juxtaposition and hypertext of both print and visual media.

Cha was tragically murdered by a stranger in New York City a week after the publication of Dictee.
