A collection of dark short stories. Many reminded me of fairytails in a modern setup adding creep-factor through absurdity or surrealism. The outcome of the stories felt too predictable oftentimes. Othertimes I couldn't get a grasp about what the story is about, like what exactly is it critizing or referring to. Maybe the language barrier or my missing understand of the south korean culture led me miss out a lot there.

Russian pride
4 stars
Highly recommend for those who seek to understand more about russians path leading to war a with Ukraine. The story spans from the end of UDSSR to the start of the war and tries to give an understanding of how Putin ruled the country. Important aspects that are highlighted in the book: the role of oligarchs; the confrontations with the West; patriotism and ideology of Putin.
