COLLECTIONS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m <\/strong><\/em>\"\"Waiting For You and Other Stories<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a> by Bo-Young Kim, translated from the Korean by Sophie Bowman (Harper Voyager, April 6)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In this mind-expanding work of speculative fiction, available in English for the first time, one of South Korea\u2019s most treasured writers explores the driving forces of humanity\u2014love, hope, creation, destruction, and the very meaning of existence\u2014in two pairs of thematically interconnected stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Terminal Boredom: Stories<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/em> by Izumi Suzuki, translated from the Japanese by Polly Barton, Sam Bett, David Boyd, and Daniel Joseph (Verso Fiction, April 20)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

At turns nonchalantly hip and charmingly deranged, Suzuki\u2019s singular slant on speculative fiction would be echoed in countless later works, from Margaret Atwood and Harumi Murakami, to Black Mirror<\/em> and Ex Machina<\/em>. In these darkly playful and punky stories, the fantastical elements are always earthed by the universal pettiness of strife between the sexes, and the gritty reality of life on the lower rungs, whatever planet that ladder might be on.<\/span><\/p>\n
