Reviews
"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, 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 -- --, 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 -- --, "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, "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, "[An] impressive second collection... Through the prism of her singular imagination, Chung looks sharply at the ways the world we've made doesn't suit us...These are stories to sit with, to read one at a time and savor."-- Esquire, Best Sci-Fi Books of 2024 (So Far), "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, TIME Magazine Must-Read Book of 2024 Esquire Best Sci-Fi Book of 2024 New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by The Millions , Literary Hub, Electric Literature, Book Riot, and Marie Claire. S helf Awareness Best Book of the Week -- --, "Inventive tales... offer an absurd look into a distant future... With a touch of melancholy, Chung explores the psychological and sociological effects that advanced technology may have on humankind, while also encouraging readers to imagine, as she writes in her author's note, 'a better world for both you and me.'"-- TIME Magazine, 100 Must-Read Books of 2024, "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*, TIME Magazine Must-Read Book of 2024 Esquire Best Sci-Fi Book of 2024 New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice Electric Literature Best Short Story Collection of 2024 Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2024 by The Millions , Literary Hub, Electric Literature, Book Riot, and Marie Claire. Shelf Awareness Best Book of the Week -- --, "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
Synopsis
**One of TIME Magazine's 100 Must-Read Books of 2024, and Kirkus Reviews' Best Fiction of 2024** "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 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.
