FINALIST FOR THE 2023 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN TRANSLATED LITERATURE
A wildly original debut from a rising star of Korean literature—surreal, chilling fables that take on the patriarchy, capitalism, and the reign of big tech with absurdist humor and a (sometimes literal) bite. Pre-order YOUR UTOPIA, the new book written by Bora Chung and translated by Anton Hur, coming February 2024!
From an author never before published in the United States, Cursed Bunny is unique and imaginative, blending horror, sci-fi, fairy tales, and speculative fiction into stories that defy categorization. By turns thought-provoking and stomach-turning, here monsters take the shapes of furry woodland creatures and danger lurks in unexpected corners of everyday apartment buildings. But in this unforgettable collection, translated by the acclaimed Anton Hur, Chung’s absurd, haunting universe could be our own.
“The Head” follows a woman haunted by her own bodily waste. “The Embodiment” takes us into a dystopian gynecology office where a pregnant woman is told that she must find a father for her baby or face horrific consequences. Another story follows a young monster, forced into underground fight rings without knowing his own power. The titular fable centers on a cursed lamp in the shape of a rabbit, fit for a child’s bedroom but for its sinister capabilities.
No two stories are alike, and readers will be torn whether to race through them or savor Chung’s wit and frenetic energy on every page. Cursed Bunny is a book that screams to be read late into the night and passed on to the nearest set of hands the very next day.
“Like the work of Carmen Maria Machado and Aoko Matsuda, Chung’s stories are so wonderfully, blisteringly strange and powerful that it's almost impossible to put Cursed Bunny down.” ―Kelly Link, bestselling author of Get In Trouble

Am besten könnte man das Buch als Black Mirror in Buchform bezeichnen. Mehrere Kurzgeschichten, welche einem zum nachdenken bringen und gleichzeitig entsetzten. Total spannend, kann ich jedem empfehlen der ein bisschen auf gore steht

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)
Eine Sammlung von kurzen Geschichten, die alle gewisse Fantasy-Elemente haben. Es geht um Liebes-Roboter, die sich gegen die Menschen wehren, einen gierigen Prinzen der vom Zauberer auf einem goldenen Schiff stiehlt und eine Familie die sich mithilfe eines Talismans in Hasenform (dem cursed bunny) gegen ein böses Unternehmen wehrt.
Insgesamt 10 voneinander unabhängige Kurzgeschichten, die unterschiedlich lang sind und unterschiedlich stark berühren. Manche davon können verfilmt werden, das Buch ist es auf jeden Fall wert gelesen zu werden.
