I Have the Right to Destroy Myself
Synopsis
In a cold, hyper-modern Seoul, a nameless narrator makes his living as a facilitator of suicides, seeking out the lost and disconnected, offering them elaborate ways to die and accompanying them to the end. Around his detached, almost artistic work spirals the story of two brothers — C and K — and Se-yeon, the woman caught between them. Kim Young-ha's spare, provocative debut novel is an unsettling meditation on death, desire, art, and loneliness in an atomized city.
