I Have the Right to Destroy Myself by Young-Ha Kim

dark mysterious sad medium-paced

4.0

Bleak and I loved it. Sometimes I find Korean fiction a little too obscure - like I’m almost getting it but I can’t quite grasp the full extent. Not so with I Have the Right to Destroy Myself, but it’s also not too on-the-nose. I loved the set up, a mysterious man on the hunt for clients - although I’ll not spoil the services he provides. Then there are stories within the main frame, stories of the people he encounters. It explores lust and art, and of course death, and it just reads so smoothly. Highly recommend, though heed the content warnings.
