[New Release] 'Mareun Yeoja-deul'

◆Thin Women = A novel that conveys the inner world of adolescents and adult women with eating disorders through the voice of a first-person narrator. It resembles a mirror image of Roxane Gay's candid confession of her eating disorder experience in "Hunger." It vividly portrays the pain and frustration experienced by twin sisters Rose and Lily as their appearances and lives change due to anorexia and bulimia. The unique narrative and structure, which interweave present and past, facts and information, are intriguing. Uncomfortable truths such as harmful diet culture, social oppression, violent reporting, prejudice, and violence are expressed through a direct voice and unrestrained descriptions.

"Anorexia patients experience extreme weight loss. But what they lose is more than that. Hair, nails, teeth. Friends, family, themselves. Their sense of the world. They lose sight of what matters beyond not eating. Eventually, they lose everything. Even their lives. It is greedy, anorexia is."
