About this listen
I could go to the police station and confess.
I could find a priest and confess.
I ate a person. Is that a sin?
ROMEO & JULIET meets Nobel Prize-winning THE VEGETARIAN in the cult classic phenomenon that sold over a quarter of a million copies—from one of Korea's best literary authors
It begins at the end.
When Dam discovers her boyfriend, Gu, murdered on the street by loan sharks, time stops—until she cradles the resplendent corpse in her arms, carries it home and begins to speak. A string of monologues stretches between this realm and the next, binding two souls in the story of a love starved by life, until death do them part - or part by part . . .
At the end, Dam confesses: she has slowly been eating the ritually bathed and embalmed corpse cradled to her chest, choosing to entomb Gu in herself—where he will now live on—forever.
At once romantic and horrific, HUNGER is a psychologically and philosophically thrilling Korean cult classic that cuts to the very heart of love and the things we do for it.
If you love pitch-black East Asian stories like Squid Game, Butter or Parasite, you'll devour HUNGER.
