About this audiobook
When hunger for survival consumes you, what can be left of morality?
IF PARASITE WERE A RECORD-BREAKING BOOK SENSATION TRANSLATED INTO 9 LANGUAGES
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
On an ordinary afternoon, a woman finds her boyfriend murdered in the street. Time stops. Until she lifts his body from the concrete, cradles it to her chest and takes him 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 the woman is no longer willing to bow before law, money or God. In a final act of rebellion and resurrection, she entombs his corpse within her flesh where her soulmate will live again.
A decade after it was originally published, the psychologically and philosophically thrilling cult classic about love, capitalism, and the things they do to us continues to test the limits of what the human body can endure. Hunger will crawl under your skin, sink into your bones, and stay there forever.
