Hunger

When hunger for survival consumes you, what can be left of morality? IF PARASITE WERE A RECORD-BREAKING BOOK SENSATION TRANSLATED INTO 9 LANGUAGES HALF A MILLION COPIES SOLD ‘An instant cult classic. You have to read it‘ HARPER‘S BAZAAR ‘A feast for the literary senses‘ ANTON HUR, translator of Cursed Bunny On an ordinary afternoon, a woman finds her boyfriend murdered in the street. Time stops. Until she lifts his body from the concrete, cradles it to her chest, and carries him home, where she disinfects every inch before beginning. As the man witnesses his own funeral, their two voices - living and dead - tell of a country where the rich feast and the poor starve. But the woman is no longer willing to bow before law, money or God. In a final act of rebellion and resurrection, she entombs the corpse within her flesh where her soulmate will live again. A decade after it was originally published, the psychologically and philosophically thrilling cult classic about love, capitalism, and the things they do to us continues to test the limits of what humanity can endure. Hunger will lodge itself in your soul and stay there forever. ‘As slender as it is profound‘ LING LING HUANG, author of Natural Beauty ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ‘Hunger does in a hundred pages what big books often fail to do‘ READER ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ‘Unforgettable‘ HENRY HOKE, author of Open Throat ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ‘It might be one of the best love stories ever written‘ READER ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿
