OMG! “Your Utopia” by Bora Chung, Author, and Translated by Anton Hur is a unique anthology and collection of stories that might leave you speechless, or having to say a lot of things. The author is creative, speculative, imaginative, and also wrote “Cursed Bunny”. These stories seemed to be written around Covid, and the period of isolation that we had. The genres for these stories are Science Fiction, Fantasy, Thriller, Satire, Horror, and Political Thriller. In one of the stories, many of the characters develop a disease, with no symptoms, other than the need to be cannibalistic. Unlike Covid, there is no cure, and some of the people from Earth are sent to a spaceship, location not specified. If and when the disease stops, they may or may not be able to return. Unfortunately it is not clear if anyone has this disease. Do you have any clues to what happens?
I read most genres and an anthology can be difficult to review, because the stories are different, although there might be some themes that are related. To quote the description, “Bora Chung’s imitable blend of horror, absurdity and dark humor reaches its peaks in these tales of loss and discovery, dystopia and idealism, death and immortality”. In some ways this book is strange, weird, creepy and crazy. There are twists and turns and endings that really threw me for a loop. There is the element of surprise, and the author certainly is creative! I would suggest not reading this late at night as I did. For those who have certain fears, I would suggest caution. I would recommend this for those readers that enjoy the genres mentioned above. Happy Reading!
