Your Utopia: Stories by Bora Chung

5.0

I have absolutely devoured this today and I couldn't be happier to have Cursed Bunny in the post!

This is a collection of short stories through which Chung marries the banality and mundanity of ordinary life with sheer ascerbic horror through a bleak, spartan sci-fi sensibility.

There's something revelatory and extraordinary in how reserved and depressing and oppressive these stories feel. They are like diamond cut diorama of exquisitely precise and meticulous function that jiggle and radiate a foreboding malevolence that seems to come from nowhere and everywhere.

I don't know what else to say, but I absolutely loved this collection!
