My Sister, the Serial Killer meets Boy Parts, this literary feminist howl-of-a-debut is going to crawl right under your skin...
Ji-won's life is in disarray. Her father's affair has ripped her family into mouli-like shreds, leaving her to piece her mother, her sister and their crappy lives back together.
So, when her mother's obnoxious new white boyfriend, George, enters the scene, bragging about his flawed knowledge of Korean cuisine and ogling Asian waitresses in restaurants, Ji-won's hold over her emotions strains. As he gawks at her and her sister around their tiny, claustrophobic apartment, while her mother cooks mouthwatering soybean stew, she realises she is no longer angered by him, but obsessed with his brilliant blue eyeballs.
As her fixation grows, Ji-won decides that she must do the one thing that will curb her cravings... After all, her hunger and her rage deserve to be sated...
