I debated DNFing at the end of each short story but kept hoping the next one would be better. None of them were.

This short story collection was very much eclectic. Most of the stories were creepy but there were only a few that I would consider horror as such. The voices of the characters were individual, and the scene setting realistic. I found many of the stories more emotional than I had expected to, and appreciated the feminist slant a lot of the stories presented.
I really enjoyed this book, and would read more Bora Chung books in translation. Thoroughly recommended.
