Featuring the Pushcart Prize-Winning story, "Mantis," Green Frog is an impactful short story collection building on a strong fairytale tradition. These dark, thought-provoking modern tales challenge what it means to be a woman, an immigrant and a person. Chung is a master at capturing emotion, and her characters—human and otherwise—will claw their way into your heart and make themselves at home.
