Failed Summer Vacation

The debut collection of genre-defying short stories from the Korean Literature and Society’s New Writer Award

Seven diversely wild and gripping stories – dreamy, dark, lyrical and wry – that expose the oddness of how we live and how we might come to live. Moving between science fiction, surrealism, speculative fiction and uncanny realism, these are rich and exhilarating stories that will haunt your summer.

‘Adventurous, experimental, and brimming with wit.’ Gu Byeong-mo, author of The Old Woman With the Knife
