I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki

By Baek Sehee and Anton Hur (translator)
 
PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you?
 
ME: I don't know, I'm - what's the word - depressed? Do I have to go into detail?
 
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. 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 yen for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?
 
I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is available in three different colours; this will be chosen at random.
