IF PARASITE WERE A RECORD-BREAKING BOOK SENSATION TRANSLATED INTO 9 LANGUAGESWhen hunger consumes you, what can be left of morality?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 ? ? ? ? ?'As slender as it is profound' LING LING HUANG, author of Natural Beauty ? ? ? ? ?On a normal afternoon, a woman finds her boyfriend dead in the street. Time stops-Until she cradles his body to her chest and carries it 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 this woman is no longer willing to bow before law, money - or God. In a final act of rebellion, she entombs the corpse the only place where her soulmate will live again.A decade after it was first published, the psychologically and philosophically thrilling underground phenomenon about love, capitalism, and the things they do to us will take root in your soul and stay there forever.
