Our second group read of 2023 is Cursed Bunny by Bora Chung, translated by Anton Hur. It was shortlisted for the 2022 International Booker Prize.
From the synopsis: 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.
