Description
THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE RECORD-BREAKING AUTHOR OF HUNGER
How do you find a way forward in in a world turned upside down?
A mutant virus has swept half of the world's population overnight. The known world has collapsed. The new world is a lawless place where children's livers are believed to provide immunity.
In one residential block, a gang of Seoulians break out of quarantine in a stolen lorry and brave their way through the remnants of a world once teeming with colour into the achingly empty terrains of Siberia.
The desolate road ahead is signposted with fellow defectors and fragile souls. A former travel agent. A divorcee exploring her sexuality. A deaf girl traversing a frozen continent barefoot.
An awe-inspiring, soul-stirring novella about the indomitable human spirit's burning will to live and love, Untitled charts the innermost landscapes of ordinary people making liferafts out of desire, memory, and the small rituals of everyday.
PRAISE FOR HUNGER:
'An instant cult classic. You have to read it' HARPER'S BAZAAR
'A feast for the literary senses' ANTON HUR, translator of Cursed Bunny
'Unforgettable' HENRY HOKE, author of Open Throat
'As slender as it is profound' LING LING HUANG, author of Natural Beauty
