40 b
Exhilarating stories with roots in feminist science fiction and fantasy from an exciting, prize-winning new voice in Korean fiction. Roadkill will transport you to strange new worlds ... We had always been rare and mysterious creatures. We d been taught this ever since we were children.In a near future where women are an endangered minority, two young friends try to break free from a facility designed for those few who can still give birth. Every year in a secluded seaside village, a maiden is sacrificed to a divine sea serpent. Elsewhere, the last female shaman of an indigenous tribe tells her stories to a visiting research team. And in South Korea s Alps Grand Park, the residents exist in an exclusive world dominated by giant air purifier towers as others are left to live in the shade.The women in these stories find themselves trapped by circumstance, society or tradition as they fight for a means of escape. This sweeping and subversive collection celebrates their strength and their courage, their desire for independence and self-expression.Translated by Archana Madhavan
