\"\"Cursed Bunny<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/em> by Bora Chung, translated from the Korean by Anton Hur (Honford Star, July ?)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Cursed Bunny<\/em> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anton Hur\u2019s translation skilfully captures the way Chung\u2019s prose effortlessly glides from being terrifying to wryly humorous. Winner of a PEN\/Heim Grant.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Little Bird<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Claudia Ulloa Donoso, translated from the Spanish (Peru) by Lily Meyer (Deep Vellum, July 20).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Blending narration and personal experience, the stories in\u00a0Little Bird<\/em>\u00a0stretch reality, a sharp-shooting combination of George Saunders and Samanta Schweblin. Characters real and unreal, seductive, shape-changing, and baffling come together in smooth prose that leaves readers questioning their own truth.<\/span><\/p>\n
