Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung

Shortlisted for the 2022 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.

REVIEWS

"Frightening, fantastical, and oddly funny... absurdist horror with a feminist slant."--PEN America

"Chung's work can be defined as a gripping amalgamation of absurdist, unrealistic stories that draw on science fiction, horror and fantasy. In a strange sense, they are page-turners making readers anxious to know more about what's to come but at the same time dreading to see the end."-The Korea Times
