Red Sword<\/a><\/em> by Bora Chung, translated from the Korean by Anton Hur (Honford Star, May 13).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red Sword<\/em> is the mesmerizing and haunting English-language debut novel by International Booker Prize-shortlisted author Bora Chung. Expertly translated by Anton Hur, this speculative fiction unfolds on a distant, war-ravaged planet where advanced technologies wreak havoc and devastation. Told in sparse, evocative prose, a slave-turned-reluctant hero must traverse the alien terrain to uncover the truth about her identity and that of her enslaved companions. Characteristically borrowing from a plethora of genres, Red Sword blends a poignant exploration of social relations with stunning world-building, and challenges readers to consider what it means to wield power over others<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
