Although they are both disturbing on the outside, they open up our minds to several different worlds at once. If I have to slot Cursed Bunny into a particular category, I would gladly place it next to Han Kang’s The Vegetarian (2007). And the one quality that I admired the most about the collection is that it gets weirder and weirder with every turn of the page. A typical horror story in Chung’s hands is as brutal as a slasher movie, but there’s also a touch of sadness to it. The short stories in this collection hop from one genre to another as though they are theme park rides. ![]() Bora Chung’s Cursed Bunny, which was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize last year, is funny, startling, moving, and original. ![]()
