THE PHENOMENAL KOREAN BESTSELLER TRANSLATED BY INTERNATIONAL BOOKER SHORTLISTEE ANTON HUR ''Will strike a chord with anyone who feels that their public life is at odds with how they really feel inside.'' Red 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 Sehee 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 desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?
Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness.> -

- PSYCHIATRE : Alors, comment puis-je vous aider ?
- MOI : Je ne sais pas, je suis - comment dirais-je - déprimée ? Dois-je entrer dans les détails ?
Baek Sehee est une jeune directrice des médias sociaux à succès dans une maison d'édition lorsqu'elle commence à voir un psychiatre :
- MOI : Comment l'appeler ? La dépression ?
Elle se sent constamment anxieuse, doute sans cesse d'elle-même, mais est aussi très critique envers les autres. Elle cache bien ses sentiments au travail et à ses amis ; elle est habile à donner le change, son style de vie l'exige. L'effort est épuisant, écrasant et l'empêche de nouer des relations profondes. Cela ne peut pas être normal. Mais si elle est si désespérée, pourquoi peut-elle toujours invoquer l'envie de sa street food préférée, un gâteau de riz chaud et épicé, le tteokbokki ? Est-ce que c'est comme ça la vie ?
En enregistrant ses dialogues avec son psychiatre sur une période de 12 semaines, Baek commence à démêler les réactions instinctives et les comportements nuisibles qui la maintiennent enfermée dans un cycle d'auto-manipulation.
Le livre se termine par des chapitres "post-thérapie" qui font le point sur son évolution, ses changements de comportement et d'appréhension du monde. Baek apprend à s'autoriser à être elle-même, à accepter ce qu'elle ressent sans se juger ou s'en vouloir. -
