By the internationally acclaimed author of Cursed Bunny, in another thrilling translation from the Korean by Anton Hur, Your Utopia is full of tales of loss and discovery, idealism and dystopia, death and immortality. Nothing concentrates the mind like Chungs terrors, which will shrivel you to a bouillon cube of your most primal instincts (Vulture), yet these stories are suffused with Chungs inimitable wry humor and surprisingly tender moments, too--often between unexpected subjects. In The Center for Immortality Research, a low-level employee runs herself ragged planning a fancy gala for donors, only to be blamed for a crime she witnessed during the event, under the noses of the mysterious celebrity benefactors hoping to live forever. But she cant be fired--no one can. In One More Kiss, Dear, a tender, one-sided love blooms in the AI-elevator of an apartment complex; as in, the elevator develops a profound affection for one of the residents. In Seeds, we see the final frontier of capitalisms destruction of the planet and the GMO companies who rule the agricultural industry in this bleak future, but nature has ways of creeping back to life. Chungs writing is haunting, funny, gross, terrifying--and yet when we reach the end, we just want more (Alexander Chee). If you havent yet experienced the fruits of this singular imagination, Your Utopia is waiting. nBy the internationally acclaimed author of Cursed Bunny, in another thrilling translation from the Korean by Anton Hur, Your Utopia is full of tales of loss and discovery, idealism and dystopia, death and immortality.
