Hotel Irrealismo discussion

Any opinions on Cursed Bunny ? Bora Chung has caught some wind recently with her blend of magical realism, korean sensibilities and feminism.

To me, her writing is not at the level of some of the great ones that this Hotel holds dear, However, I enjoyed her book and I recommend it.

I am also excited at the prospect of more magical realist authors being published and I was surprised her fans seem to be completely unaware of the latin-american Boom literature movement.

I have not heard of that book, sorry.
Have you read Ted Chiang? He sounds possibly similar.

Also, I notice that you have The Flaneur: A Stroll through the Paradoxes of Paris listed in your to-read bookshelf. It's on mine as well. I am thinking of reading it in the next year along with The Arcades Project by Walter Benjamin. Though the second is a bit of a commitment, so not in the next 6 months. If you'd by interested in a buddy read of those sometime, let me know.
