This book was so strange, but I was so into it!! The first story opens with quite a concept so the reader is prepared for everything that comes after, but I will say that story would also probably turn off a lot of readers…it was something else.

I had the pleasure of reading Cursed Bunny in its English translation by Anton Hur. From start to finish, the narrative flowed seamlessly, and I encountered no significant difficulties in grasping the stories. Anton Hur’s translation is nothing short of masterful; he meticulously preserves the nuances and intensity of Bora Chung’s original prose. His skillful translation ensures that the unique voice and unsettling atmosphere of each story resonate deeply with readers.

Die Übersetzung könnte durchaus geschmeidiger sein. Besonders bei den Geschichten, die ins Fabelähnliche gehen, hätte man den Ton besser anpassen können.
Lektorat durchwachsen – viel zu viele Kommas überall.
Insgesamt eine Sammlung außergewöhnlicher, interessant verstörender Kurzgeschichten.

Udah dari lama banget penasaran sama buku ini. Apalagi tiap baca review selalu dibikin deg-degan karena se-KACAU apa sih Si Kepala?
Alhasil setelah dapat kesempatan untuk pinjam buku ini di Perpustakaan Cikini, aku bawa pulang, dan kumulai baca di perjalanan pulang. Perjalananku yang ditemani Si Kepala itu bikin aku merinding dan nahan mual. Gila deh imajinasi Bora jakka-nim!
Karena kebetulan aku baca yang versi terjemahan bahasa Indonesia, aku jadi penasaran sama versi Englishnya. Siap merinding!

I am not typically a short-story girly, but these were actually a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the cursed bunny story and the few first stories. The last couple were definitely a fever dream, not making any sense type of business. I am pretty sure every story has some type of body fluids element, so if that is not your thing, definitely avoid it. Overall, I would read more from Bora Chung and I was not disappointed by this book.
