Green Frog
«Chung’s talents are on full display in these contemplative tales.»
Publsihers Weekly
Here are fifteen pitch-perfect stories about women trying to make their own way: featuring daughters, divorcees, fox demons, a praying mantis, and . . . green frogs.
A young girl reconnects with her Korean grandmother; an artist considers her connection to the Korean folktale of the green frog; a praying mantis living in a beautiful home overlooking the park finds the New York dating scene leaves her hungering for more; a fox demon seeks revenge for her murdered sister, only for her loyalties to be torn; AI brings a grieving mother’s daughter back to life; at a spa in the mountains, a recently divorced woman has a ghostly encounter; and a recipe book instructs the reader on ‘how to eat your own heart’.

Anmeldelser
«Chung’s talents are on full display in these contemplative tales.»
Publsihers Weekly
«Green Frog glitters and haunts, remaining with you until, slowly, you start to see yourself and your surroundings differently.»
Los Angeles Review of Books
«Though the women in these stories are not always human, they have very human problems; as it turns out, being a mantis comes with its own relationship issues.»
