I Want To Die But I Want To Eat TTeokbokki

THE PHENOMENAL KOREAN BESTSELLER. Baek Se-Hee 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. But if she´s so hopeless, why can she always summon a yen for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse.
