Chung once again plunges readers into her blend of horror and absurdity, sprinkled with dark humour in her second short story collection ' Your Utopia '. Photo: Bora Chung With her genre-defying short story collection, translated by Anton Hur, Chung became a finalist for the International Booker Prize in 2022 in Britain and the US National Book Award in 2023.
The original Korean titular story, “To Meet Her,” was inspired and dedicated to the late Byun Hee-soo, the country’s first transgender soldier, who tragically passed away in 2021 after being forcibly discharged the previous year. Reflecting on the thematic undercurrent in her latest book, Chung said, “I think it’s a very basic question of what is human nature – what are the depths of human nature amid dystopian landscapes.”“We were discussing what it means to be human, the meaning of life, how we relate to, or forge a relationship with another being that is not human but has a sense of self.
“Humans are killing each other, and we already have robots capable of thinking, acting, and potentially replacing humans. It’s highly likely that we are doomed, and robots will survive,” said Chung.
