As bright as that golden ship sailing through the heavens

9/10 rounded up, but what a great collection of short stories! Chung's writing is about as bright as that golden ship sailing through the heavens in the penultimate story. The full range of weirdness on display here makes for a very diverse reading experience, even though all of it is delightfully creepy. It's riveting prose as well, the translator Anton Hur did an outstanding job. Cover design is also very much on point. It was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2022, but I wouldn't have mind it if it won. Honford Star have gold on their hands with Bora Chung.
