Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, 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. Anton Hur's translation skilfully captures the way Chung's prose effortlessly glides from being terrifying to wryly humorous.

Terror, fantasía, metáfora. Los primeros cuentos son impresionantes y, aunque el libro pierde mucha fuerza hacia el final, vale mucho la pena entrarle al mundo oscuro y retorcido que propone.

He thought of how he’d smashed his steel chains against the walls of the cave just to see a single spark. Had some giant trapped inside the cave of the night sky struck their chains against some unimaginably large wall to create the stars? Had they done it as a cry for help? Or to endure, somehow, the emptiness and darkness?

Every person has only one childhood, and instead of being full of hopes or dreams, his had been crushed by the fight for survival.
