I had chosen and no law, no gun, no God, could stop me now. Only him.
A woman finds her man murdered on the street - and time stands still.
Until she cradles his corpse to her chest and carries it home, where she disinfects every inch of skin before seating herself to begin.
What happens next is a battle cry reverberating from this realm into the next, where the man is watching his own funeral. Together, the couple mourn a lifetime of working their fingers to the bone in a country sucking everyone dry - but a choice has been made. The woman is also eating, burying the body in her own where her soulmate will live again.
The poetic novella that became a word-of-mouth sensation up and down Korea, HUNGER is a psychologically and philosophically thrilling cult classic that cuts to the very heart of love, money and the things they do to us.
HUNGER led the bestseller charts for over half a year, breaking records for literary fiction in Korea.
A heart-moving novel * Now in Seoul *
