‘Do you know what an ah-gwi is?’ ‘A ghost of someone who starved to death.’ Ghost stories, urban legends, weird tales floating around the Internet, I was into all of that. Sometimes, I would tell her some of them between puffs as we stood there staring at the dumpsters. But this was the first time she had mentioned that stuff on her own.In Grocery List, the Korean writer Bora Chung reimagines the ghost story as a chilling tale of intimacy with appetite. The dividing lines of reality and thoughtforms blur as Chung takes on the ever-timely subject of food consciousness. Cutting and evocative, Grocery List is a feast for eaters of all kinds.
Born in Seoul, Bora Chung is a distinct new voice in global literature. The author of three novels and three collections of short stories, Chung was shortlisted for the International Booker Prize in 2022. Chung holds an MA in Russian and East European area studies from Yale University and a PhD in Slavic literature from Indiana University. She teaches Russian language and literature and science fiction studies at Yonsei University, and translates modern literary works from Russian and Polish into Korean.

Other internationally recognized translations include Kyung-Sook Shin’s Violets (2022) and Baek Sehee’s I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki (2018).
