@ City Lit Books
2523 N Kedzie Blvd, Chicago, IL 60647
Opening Wednesday, June 26th, from 6:30PM - 7:30PM
Join our monthly celebration of the weird and wonderful: science fiction, speculative fiction, fantasy, meta-fiction, magical realism, and genres otherwise strange.
Book club selections are 10% off at City Lit (15% for hardcover).
This month, Weird & Wonderful is discussing The Cabinet by Kim Un-Su:
Winner of the Munhakdongne Novel Award, South Korea’s most prestigious literary prize.
Cabinet 13 looks exactly like any normal filing cabinet…Except this cabinet is filled with files on the ‘symptomers’, humans whose strange abilities and bizarre experiences might just mark the emergence of a new species.
But to Mr Kong, the harried office worker whose job it is to look after the cabinet, the symptomers are a headache; especially the one who won’t stop calling every day, asking to be turned into a cat.
A richly funny and fantastical novel about the strangeness at the heart of even the most everyday lives, from one of South Korea’s most acclaimed novelists.
