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 skillfully captures the way Chung's prose effortlessly glides from being terrifying to wryly humorous.

haunting parables about trauma, abuse, and power. i found her pieces about sexual trauma & exploitation (the embodiment & snare) to be the strongest of the entire collection. really enjoyable.

This was a rollercoaster.
Started VERY strong, ended very strong. Lots of fluctuation in between.
Overall, nicely done.

It was interesting once you got past the ick factors. I don't know if I would have picked it up if it wasn't a book club pick.
