The translation from Korean to English is a bit off at times. However, that does not dim the bizarre beauty of this collection.

dark sad tense

It was certainly cursed?? Mostly just disturbing and unsettling. I tried to add all the CW's but definitely might have missed some. Would not personally recommend this book.

Weird, violent, gross, fairy-tale-esque, existential representations of the patriarchy, relationships with parents, capitalism, and greed. One of my favorite short story collections probably ever.
