The Black Orb

Autor Ewhan Kim Traducere de Sean Lin Halbert
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2024
One evening in downtown Seoul, Jeong-su is smoking a cigarette outside when he sees something impossible: a huge black orb appears out of nowhere and sucks his neighbour inside.The orb soon begins consuming other people and no one knows how to stop it. Impervious to bullets and tanks, the orb splits and multiplies, chasing the hapless residents of Seoul out into the country and sparking a global crisis with widespread violence and looting. Jeong-su must rely upon his wits as he makes the arduous journey in search of his elderly parents. But the strangest phases of this ever-expanding disaster are yet to come and Jeong-su will be forced to question everything he has taken for granted.Dryly funny, propulsive and absurd, The Black Orb is terrifyingly prescient about the fragility of human civilisation.

Recenzii

This book absorbs readers like a black orb.
I recommend this book to anyone feeling anxious and stifled by the here and now.
A social fantasy reminiscent of José Saramago's Blindness
Surreal structure, impossible imagination. Masterpiece! ... Kim overwhelms the reader. I needed to catch my breath after putting it down.
