<p><b>_______________</b><br><br><b>THE PHENOMENAL KOREAN BESTSELLER</b><br><b>TRANSLATED BY INTERNATIONAL BOOKER SHORTLISTEE ANTON HUR</b><br><b><br>'Will strike a chord with anyone who feels that their public life is at odds with how they really feel inside.' </b>- <i>Red</i><br><i><br>PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you?</i><br><i><br> ME: I don't know, I'm - what's the word - depressed? Do I have to go into detail?</i><br><br> Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her - what to call it? - 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. <br><br>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?<br><br> Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, 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>I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki </i>is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness.</p>
