Autor Bora Chung Traducere de Anton Huren Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 aug 2026

Recenzii
South Korean folklore, urban horror stories and surrealism are fused into something truly nightmarish.
Clever, scary and wickedly funny. I inhaled Bora Chung's book of ghost stories and then slept with the light on!
Like the objects collected in this deliciously haunting book, The Midnight Timetable will absorb you in the shadows of its imagination, marvellous oddness, humour and heart. It's a wild midnight tour of a uniquely brilliant and exquisitely demented world, terrifying and enchanting-a world I did not want to leave!
A truly wild and twisted ride into the dark recesses of the human psyche. Bora Chung's unique voice sings with wisdom, truth and humour, wrapped up in bone-chilling allegory. A riveting enchantment of a book.
Electrifying. A feast of a book. Strange, hypnotic and audacious.
I love the creatures who populate the Haunted Institute of Bora Chung's mind―handkerchiefs with vendettas, jackets that weep in marbles, wounded, oracular sheep. The Midnight Timetable is enigmatic, wild and fun, even while making deep and provocative points about the dark joys suffering makes available. A fascinating novel of shifting realities centred by a steady, humane heart. Bora Chung is a master of concocting dreamscapes that linger.
How can Bora Chung tickle me, delight me while dropping me deep into uneasiness? Why am I giggling while looking for new shadows over my shoulder? These ghost stories take what's familiar and give them very human dimensions-a lover's betrayal, a mother's love, a son's greed, or a worker's simple curiosity-so that they mist off the page and leave the real world hazy and askew when we look up. I left this book respecting the untold histories of objects and I will never look at tennis shoes again without thinking of sheep.
Beautiful, eerie stories that are unpredictable and sprawl endlessly.
The keen insights into a society and the nonstop pacing of the folk tales kept me on the edge of my seat.
It is rare that you find a writer so happy to throw caution to the wind and craft stories that feel so new and fresh. If you are looking for something spooky, silly and simultaneously meaningful, The Midnight Timetable is the book for you.
Chung's partnership with translator Anton Hur continues to bear fruit here; the stories have a nicely wry style, accessibly rendered.
Chung is mordantly eerie and funny.
The steady accumulation of cruelty may not be for all readers, but it leaves an unnerving but thrilling impression.
