Broccoli PunchLee YuriLabel: Heloise PressDescription: A collection of short stories flirting with the surreal and Kafkaesque: a father whose ashes turn into a chatting plant a boyfriend whose hand becomes a broccoli a group of investigative aliens fascinated by idol culture. Yuri’s world is permeated with humour emotions and style giving us a refreshing perspective into the complexities of human nature and contemporary Korean society.Lee Yuri's writing stands out for introducing an unexpected and bizarre fantastical element into a hyper-realistic domestic environment in a hypnotizing combination of humor absurdity and wit. Stylistically she sits comfortably between the literary and genre fiction categories.
