Cursed Bunny

Cursed Bunny is a genre-defying collection of short stories by Korean author Bora Chung. Blurring the lines between magical realism, horror, & science-fiction, Chung uses elements of the fantastic and surreal to address the very real horrors & cruelties of patriarchy & capitalism in modern society.

Anton Hur’s translation skilfully captures the way Chung’s prose effortlessly glides from being terrifying to wryly humorous. Winner of a PEN/Heim Grant.
