Hear from the author of Cursed Bunny on her new novel, The Midnight Timetable, a masterful work of literary horror from one of our time’s greatest imaginations.
Bora Chung, author of the National Book Award finalist and International Booker Prize shortlisted Cursed Bunny, discusses her novel The Midnight Timetable, equal parts bone-chilling, wryly funny and deeply political.
In a labyrinthine research facility where those who open the wrong door might find it’s disappeared behind them, or that the echoing footsteps they’re running from are their own, an unnamed protagonist begins their night shift under the watchful eye of the building’s enigmatic senior guard.
Bora Chung is a writer and translator. She has an MA in Russian Studies from Yale University and a PhD in Slavic literature from Indiana University.
