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.
