The stories brought together in this collection introduce the dazzling speculative imaginings of Djuna, one of South Korea's most provocative science-fiction writers. Whether describing how a species of interplanetary machines brings Korea's North-South divide into the heavens or satirizing the vampiric nature of Confucian patriarchy, these stories evoke a universe at once familiar and clearly fantastical. Blending influences ranging from genre fiction (zombie, vampire, science-fiction, you name it) to Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Djuna's stories illuminate the past, present, and possible futures.
Praised by Publisher's Weekly as an "impressive collection which showcases the power of speculative fiction to illuminate the human condition," Memoir of a Joseon Bride is an outstanding work by one of science-fiction's most mysterious authors.
