Award-winning Korean Author Bora Chung (Cursed Bunny, Your Utopia, The Midnight Timetable) joins me to discuss how fiction warns, resists, and reimagines our world.
What if fiction isn’t just storytelling, but a foreshadow of things to come?
In this episode of The Bánh Mì Chronicles, I’m joined by acclaimed Korean author Bora Chung, best known for her award-winning collection Cursed Bunny, her visionary Your Utopia, and her forthcoming novel The Midnight Timetable.
Together, we explore:
How fiction reflects and warns us about real-world crises
Why speculative and dystopian stories resonate in times of upheaval
What readers can expect in her upcoming The Midnight Timetable
Role as a writer in current political times, back in Korea and globally.
Bora reminds us that fiction is more than escape — it’s a mirror, a warning, and a tool for resistance.
