Translated by International Booker shortlistee Anton Hur, the sequel to the phenomenal South Korean smash hit.
Baek Sehee could never have predicted how many people I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki would reach across the world. A runaway international bestseller, this record of conversations with her therapist demonstrated the realities of anxiety and depression. But Baek's battle with dysthymia did not end there. In I Want to Die but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki, her experiences become more complex, as she vulnerably shows that striving for contentment is an ongoing journey.Born in 1990, Baek Sehee studied creative writing in college before working for five years at a publishing house. For ten years, she received psychiatric treatment for dysthymia (persistent mild depression), which became the subject of her essays, and then I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki. Her favorite food is tteokbokki, and she lives with her rescue dog, Jaram.
