Duration: 60 minutes
Welcome to the sinister world of Cursed Bunny. In this chillingly good International Booker-shortlisted collection by South Korean sensation Bora Chung, body horror and hauntings collide with fables and magical realism to reveal the true terrors of our age: capitalism, patriarchy and unchecked power. In conversation with award-winning short fiction writer Helen Marshall, Chung breaks down her genre-defying literary style and scalpel-sharp critique.
