About Your Utopia by Bora Chung
Translated from Korean by Anton Hur, Your Utopia is a short-story collection that moves among loss and discovery, idealism and dystopia, death and immortality. Its unsettling speculative premises are balanced by wry humor and moments of tenderness.
Among the stories, an employee at an immortality research gala is blamed for a crime she witnessed, while an apartment-building elevator develops affection for a resident. “Seeds” depicts a future in which GMO companies dominate agriculture and the planet has been devastated, even as nature begins to return. Readers drawn to Korean fiction, science fiction, horror, and dystopian short stories may find this collection especially compelling.
