To the Kennels : And Other Stories Hardback
by Hye-young Pyun
Hardback
Description
An acclaimed story collection from the author of the Shirley Jackson Award–winning novel The Hole Six elephants bolt from an amusement park and vanish; where they’re found brings back memories of a forgotten dictator.
A car ride on a foggy highway at night becomes a drive through hell for a young couple getting away for the weekend together.
A family lives the dream of moving from the city to a brand-new bedroom town in the country, only to be plagued by debt and fears of eviction, while the sound of incessant barking rings from the kennels nearby.
In a city built on the site of ancient tombs, a homeowner’s renovation of a broken wall leads to an outcome no one expected.
Older workers hired to play characters from a folk tale and wear smiles no one believes.
An accountant asked to cook the books for his boss. A would-be writer disapppointed in her students and her choices. These are some of the premises and characters in Hye-young Pyun’s To the Kennels, winner of one of Korea’s most prestigious literary awards.
Infused with psychological acuity, understated suspense, a touch of the uncanny, and her Kafkaesque take on the contemporary world, To the Kennels offers a thrilling, unsettling ride through territory that is both familiar and strange.
As Un-su Kim, author of The Plotters has observed, she “reveals to us the cellular division of emotions we’ve never seen before.”
