TextPublisher: London: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2024Description: 203 pages ; 9 inchesISBN: 978-1-5266-6365-8Subject(s): PsychologyDDC classification: CIR 150 S4568 2024 Summary: The sequel to the internationally bestselling South Korean therapy memoir, translated by National Book Award finalist Anton Hur.
Whenever depression or emptiness came calling, I was all too eager to open the door of self-pity and go right inside.
Baek Sehee started recording her sessions with her psychiatrist because she hoped to create a guide for herself. She never imagined her reflections would reach so many people, especially young people. I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki became a runaway bestseller in South Korea, then Indonesia, the U.K., and the U.S., drawing readers with its frank and vulnerable discussions of depression and anxiety.
Healing is an uneven process. In this second book, Baek's sessions intensify as her inner conflicts become more complex and challenging. Through her dialogues with her psychiatrist and reflective micro-essays following each session, Baek traces the patterns of her anguish, makes progress, weathers setbacks, and shares the revelatory insights that come just when she has almost given up hope.
I Want to Die but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki offers itself to the social media generation as a book to hold close, a friend who knows that grappling with everyday despair is part of a lifelong journey.
