About the book
Bewilder
A bestiary for our (insane) times, featuring stories from Korea, Poland, Spain, Argentina, Catalonia, India, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
Dark, surprising, and cheeky, the nine stories in Bewilder stray outside the bounds of domestic life to confront just what it means to be a living creature on this planet. A woman transforms into a camel whenever she gets the urge to end her life. A pig goddess decides to reincarnate as a human to spread her pig gospel. Rabbits come under the sway of a cultish leader, storks attack a city in a gruesome take on Hitchcock’s The Birds, and a prisoner bitterly observes the rats that come and go from his cell. Exploring themes of violence, language, power, and liberation, these stories are no mere fables. They are a piercing warning cry.
The Calico series, published biannually by Two Lines Press, captures vanguard works of translated literature in stylish, collectible editions. Each Calico is a vibrant snapshot that explores one aspect of our present moment, offering the voices of previously inaccessible, highly innovative writers from around the world today.
