Inhaltsangabe

From a prize-winning new voice in Korean fiction, with roots in feminist SFF, these exhilarating stories will transport you to strange new worlds, celebrating young women striving for their independence and self-expression

'Radically brilliant... made me want to spark trouble and overthrow the system' JANE FLETT

'Plenty to keep you up at night, I loved the eerie beauty of the worlds Amil creates' NAOMI ISHIGURO

'Thrilling and unsettling... I loved this' MEGAN BRADBURY

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
