About this product
Product Information
"Chung builds out her stories with imagination, absurdity and a dry sense of humor, all applied with X-Acto knife precision." Alexandra Kleeman, The New York Times Book Review "Bora Chung's stories glisten at the border of our weird world, and all our other weird worlds. A truly sublime book." Samantha Hunt, bestselling author of The Seas and The Unwritten Book From the acclaimed author and translator of the National Book Award Finalist, Cursed Bunny, a fresh, uncanny, and utterly profound collection of stories set in near and distant futures that reflect our deepest fears -- and deepest desires. Bora Chung's inimitable blend of horror, absurdity, and dark humor reaches its peak in these tales of loss and discovery, dystopia and idealism, death and immortality. In a thrilling translation by the acclaimed Anton Hur, readers will experience a variety of possible fates for humanity, from total demise via a disease whose only symptom is casual cannibalism to a world in which even dreams can be monitored and used to convict people of crimes. In "The Center for Immortality Research," a low-level employee runs herself ragged planning a fancy gala for donors only to be blamed for the chaos that ensues during the event in front of the mysterious celebrity benefactors hoping to live forever. In "A Song for Sleep," an AI elevator in an apartment complex develops a tender, one-sided love for an elderly resident. "Seed" traverses the final frontier of capitalism's destruction of the planet -- but nature always creeps back to life. If you haven't yet experienced the fruits of Chung's singular imagination, Your Utopia is waiting.

Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by The Millions , Literary Hub, Electric Literature, Book Riot, and Marie Claire. "Best Books this Week" on S helf Awareness Included in This Week's (3/21/24) Editors' Choice of the "7 New Books We Recommend This Week" by New York Times Book Review -- --, "This is another fantastic collection...that combines big topics such as technology, human absurdity, and mortality. And [Chung] does it in the most amazing ways."-- Book Riot, "Bora Chung has proven once again that she is an undeniable maestro of the uncanny, grotesque, and posthuman. Only a consummate speculative allegorist could write a collection that functions as so haunting a mirror of our modern world, reminding us all the while that the politely deranged cannibals and lovesick AIs and beleaguered alien wives we see reflected in that mirror are really just versions of ourselves."-- Rafael Frumkin, author of Confidence and The Comedown, Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by The Millions , Literary Hub, Electric Literature, Book Riot, and Marie Claire. "Best Books this Week" on S helf Awareness -- --, "Unexpected, funny, thrillingly original. These stories will stick with me."-- Ainslie Hogarth, author of the New York Times Best Book of the Year, Motherthing, and Normal Women, "Imagining a utopia and mourning when it falls short are the first steps toward creating a better world. A big job for fiction; Chung's up to the task. The imagined worlds here may not be utopian--but the reading experience is."-- Kirkus Reviews, *STARRED REVIEW*, "Hur returns as Chung's brilliant Korean-to-English cipher for eight more enigmatically irresistible stories... Chung's electrifying author's note offers provenance for many of her stories and an empathic invitation to progress 'toward a better world for both you and me.'"-- Booklist, "Bora Chung's stories glisten at the border of our weird world, and all our other weird worlds. A truly sublime book."-- Samantha Hunt, bestselling author of The Seas and The Unwritten Book, "Hur returns as Chung's brilliant Korean-to-English cipher for eight more enigmatically irresistible stories... Chung's electrifying author's note offers provenance for many of her stories and an empathic invitation to progress 'toward a better world for both you and me.'" *STARRED REVIEW* -- Booklist

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
