Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, Cursed Bunny is a genre-defying collection of short stories by Korean author Bora Chung. Blurring the lines between magical realism, horror, and science-fiction, Chung uses elements of the fantastic and surreal to address the very real horrors and cruelties of patriarchy and capitalism in modern society. Anton Hur's translation skilfully captures the way Chung's prose effortlessly glides from being terrifying to wryly humorous.

Terror, fantasía, metáfora. Los primeros cuentos son impresionantes y, aunque el libro pierde mucha fuerza hacia el final, vale mucho la pena entrarle al mundo oscuro y retorcido que propone.

Quotes
Fernanda Toralhas quoted15 days ago
From time to time, her husband came home a little earlier than usual and the two of them spent a quiet evening together, but they had never had a fiery romance to begin with or had much in terms of memories to fall back on. They had spent too much of their marriage in a state of emotional detachment to really start making an effort to be affectionate now. They usually ate dinner in silence, watched some television in silence, and her husband would go to bed first in silence.

Anyone who curses another person is sure to end up in a grave themselves.
