Your Utopia 너의 유토피아
One of the most compelling voices in contemporary world literature. Your Utopia, the second short story collection by Bora Chung.
Originally published in 2021 under the title To Meet Her, this newly revised edition of Bora Chung’s second short story collection, Your Utopia, features a new order of stories, refined prose, and fresh cover design. The title piece, “Your Utopia,” captures a persistent striving toward a better world amid today’s ruins. Life Pattern Korea. Since its English edition—translated by Anton Hur—was released in the US, UK, India, and Australia, Your Utopia has been named one of TIME Magazine’s “Books of the Year 2024,” and was shortlisted for the Philip K. Dick Award in January 2025. The Philip K. Dick Award stands alongside the Hugo and Nebula Awards as one of the world’s three major honors for science fiction. This marks the first time a Korean-language original has made the shortlist. Life Pattern Korea.
This collection exposes the absurdities and contradictions of a worn-down world, while portraying people who endure, care for each other, and learn how to love—awkwardly, but earnestly. When struck by the thunderbolt of loss, they stop to grieve, to remember, and then move forward with resolve. As the author writes, “If I don’t mourn through action, how else can I remember such a loss?” (p. 362). These stories go beyond mourning and resignation—they carry the fierce will to demand and fight for a better world. Life Pattern Korea. Author Choi Jin-young calls this collection “a story like a seed, destined to fly the farthest, take root deep, and spread in all directions.” In an age of violence and oppression, Chung plants the seed of a utopia that will one day be reclaimed in full.
