I'm not sure it is "incorrect"? Different bookstores may have slightly different blurbs, but the contents mostly look the same with what you posted.
It looks fine to me. And we would not put all that marketing hype nor blurbs in anyway.
Thank you so much, Heejin! :) We work for the agent/publisher of Choi Jin-young!Choi has made a few critical tweaks to the summary that better reflect the rather complex storyline (taking place between this world and 'heaven' or the other realm), so please do change eBook, audio, hardback and paperback to the below.
I appreciate you want to limit marketing hype/blurb so I have kept that stuff to only one endorsement (from the International Booker Prize), if possible to include:
THE KOREAN CULT CLASSIC PHENOMENON
YOU ARE WHO YOU EAT
‘A feast for the literary senses’ ANTON HUR, Judge of the International Booker Prize
No gun, no law, no God could stop me now. Only him.
A woman finds her man murdered on the street – and time stands still.
Until she cradles his corpse to her chest and carries it home, where she disinfects every inch of skin before seating herself to begin. What follows reverberates from this realm into the next, where the man is witnessing his own funeral.
Together, the lovers lament a lifetime of working themselves to the bone in a country sucking everyone dry – but time’s up. The woman is already eating and beating capitalism at its own barbaric game, entombing the body in her own where her soulmate will live again.
The word-of-mouth literary sensation on everyone’s lips, Hunger is a psychologically and philosophically thrilling cult classic that cuts to the very heart of love, money, and the things they do to us.
