- he internationally bestselling therapy memoir translated by International Booker Prize shortlisted Anton Hur.
- 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 judgmental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends, performing the calmness 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 favorite street food: the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?
