Cursed Bunny: Shortlisted for the 2022 International Booker Prize

Product Information

Rising Korean author Bora Chung draws on a variety of influences here, her extensive background in Russian and Polish literature, her commitment to political activism as well as her fascination with fairytales and the fantastic. Cursed Bunny is a creepy good time with something for everyone if only you dare to enter Bora Chung’s nightmares.

Since these stories are structured like fairy-tales it makes a lot of sense that there is a moral tale embedded within the text.The darker, more disturbing stories are at the start—mostly—and I have to say these were my favourites. Nevertheless, no matter whether you do or don’t like singular stories, you need to give Chung her due; her work has something to say, offers a highly original style and when the stories are good, they are truly striking.

I was told how quirky this book would be, but my brain is still processing it the whole time (like wtf am I reading).

I could also understand how, in a situation where there was a single person who could kill you but also save you, all your survival instincts would be used towards satisfying that person. As for the story itself ; it started off great and creepy but it was a bit disappointing towards the end for me.

She currently teaches Russian language and literature and science fiction studies at Yonsei University and translates modern literary works from Russian and Polish into Korean.The Frozen Finger (차가운 손가락) is a rather surreal ghost story, and Snare (덫) a genuinely creepy folk-tale type of story about a man who finds a fox, caught in a snare, that bleeds gold. Bora Chung seemingly has a map to these vicious hotspots and details them across the variety of stories in her outstanding collection, Cursed Bunny. It was about two-thirds the size of an adult’s head and resembled a lump of carelessly slapped-together yellow and gray clay, with a few scattered clumps of wet hair.
