THE KOREAN CULT CLASSIC PHENOMENON


IF PARASITE WERE A RECORD-BREAKING LITERARY SENSATION


#1 WITH OVER A QUARTER OF A MILLION COPIES SOLD


I had chosen, you see, and no gun, no law, no God could stop me now. Only him.

A woman sees 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 follows reverberates from this realm into the next, where her soulmate is witnessing his own funeral.

Together, the lovers lament a lifetime of working themselves to the bone in a country sucking everyone dry - but time's up. The woman is already eating and beating capitalism at its own barbaric game, entombing the body in her own where he will live again.

The word-of-mouth literary sensation on everyone's lips, 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.
