THE RECORD-BREAKING KOREAN DARK-ROMANCE SENSATION
When hunger consumes you, what can be left of morality?

I could go to the police and confess. I could visit the priest and confess.
I ate a person. Is that a sin?
On an ordinary afternoon, a woman finds her soulmate dead in the street. She cradles the body to her chest and carries it home, where she disinfects every inch before beginning her macabre task.
As the man witnesses his own interment from beyond, their two voices - living and dead - tell of a country where the rich feast and the poor starve. But this woman is no longer willing to bow before law, money, or God.
A decade in the making, Hunger is a psychologically and philosophically thrilling cult phenomenon about love, capitalism, and the things they do to us.
'A feast for the literary senses' ANTON HUR, translator of Cursed Bunny
'A novel as slender as it is profound' LING LING HUANG, author of Natural Beauty
'A gutting, unforgettable ode' HENRY HOKE, author of Open Throat
'Cuts to the heart. Read at your peril' FRANCES CHA, author of If I Had Your Face
