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 follows reverberates from this realm into the next, where the man 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 them at their own barbaric game as she entombs the body in her own, where her soulmate will live again.The word-of-mouth sensation that's 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.

HUNGER charted for over half a year, breaking records for literary fiction in South Korea.
