IF PARASITE WERE A RECORD-BREAKING BOOK SENSATION
‘An instant cult classic. You have to read it’ HARPER’S BAZAAR
I could go to the police and confess.
I could visit the priest and confess.
I ate a person. Is that a sin?
On an ordinary evening, a woman finds her man dead in the street. Time stops-
Until she cradles the body to her chest and carries it 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 this woman is no longer willing to bow before law, money – or God.
A decade in the making, Hunger is a psychologically and philosophically thrilling cult phenomenon about love, capitalism, and the things they do to us.

When hunger consumes you, what can be left of morality?
