How do you feel about books that will creep you the F out?
Hon Lai Chu's Mending Bodies, once again proves that some of the most interesting works of literature are being written in languages other than English.
This English translation by Jacqueline Leung brings this unique work of speculative fiction and body horror to English readers via @twolinespress
Originally published in 2010, Mending Bodies imagines a near future where the government encourages people to become surgically conjoined to help the economy, the environment, but most importantly, to help yourself live the most fulfilling life you possibly can.
The book's terror doesn't come from blood or gore, but in society's quiet acceptance of this extreme recommendation.
