IF PARASITE WERE A RECORD-BREAKING LITERARY SENSATION
OVER A QUARTER OF A MILLION COPIES SOLD
'An instant cult classic... You have to read it' HARPER'S BAZAAR
'A feast for the literary senses' ANTON HUR, Judge of the International Booker Prize
'As slender as it is profound' LING LING HUANG, author of Natural Beauty
On an ordinary afternoon, a woman sees 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 of skin before beginning.
As the man witnesses his own funeral from beyond, their two voices - living and dead - lament a lifetime of bone-grinding labour in 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 sacrament, she claims his body as hers and entombs the corpse within her flesh where her soulmate will live again.
A decade after it was first published, the underground sensation that tests the limits of what the human heart can endure is still crawling under your skin and staying there. Hunger is a psychologically and philosophically thrilling cult classic that cuts to the core of love, capitalism, and the things they do to us.
