** PRE-ORDER THE SEQUEL <\/span>I WANT TO DIE BUT I STILL WANT TO EAT TTEOKBOKKI NOW **<\/span> THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER | <\/span>TRANSLATED BY INTERNATIONAL BOOKER SHORTLISTEE ANTON HUR<\/span> ‘Will strike a chord with anyone who feels that their public life is at odds with how they really feel inside.’ <\/span>Red<\/span> PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you?<\/span> ME: I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m \u2013 what\u2019s the word \u2013 depressed? Do I have to go into detail?<\/span> Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her \u2013 what to call it? \u2013 depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can’t be normal. But if she’s so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like? Recording her conversations with her psychiatrist over 12 weeks, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki <\/span>is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness. I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki<\/span> comes in three different colours; the colour you receive will be chosen at random<\/span><\/div>\n
