SHORTLISTEE ANTON HUR    'Will strike a chord with anyone who feels that their public life is
at odds with how they really feel inside.' - Red    PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you?    
ME: I don't know  I'm - what's the word - depressed? Do I have to go into detail?    Baek Sehee
is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a
psychiatrist about her - what to call it? - depression? She feels persistently low  anxious 
endlessly self-doubting  but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at
work and with friends  adept at performing the calmness  even ease  her lifestyle demands. The
effort is exhausting  overwhelming  and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't
be normal.   But if she's so hopeless  why can she always summon a desire for her favourite
street food  the hot  spicy rice cake  tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?   Recording
her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period  Baek begins to disentangle the
feedback loops  knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of
self-abuse. Part memoir  part self-help book  I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a
book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness.
