{"product_id":"9781956046335","title":"God-Disease","description":"\u003cp\u003eWinner of the 2023 Mary McCarthy Prize in Short Fiction, selected by Manuel Muñoz.Imagine a space where cities and municipalities are delineated only by letters. A place in flux, a freewheeling confluence that does not commit to being American, Korea, or even Korean American. This is where God-Disease takes place. Strange things happen here. Identities warp and shift; sometimes they vanish altogether. In the titular story, a museum insect curator returns to her birth town, J Municipality, feeling empty and searching for answers to her mother's absence; was it insanity that plagued her, or was it shin-byeong?god-disease? Equal parts Southern Korean Gothic and slipstream, the collection is a meditation on language, identity, and names, and how deceptively fragile they can be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sarabande Books","offers":[{"title":"joon, an \/ chang","offer_id":55645246947701,"sku":"9781956046335","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9781956046335_195d1c60-4d01-4c28-a611-109280351489.jpg?v=1752924116","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.live\/products\/9781956046335","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
