50books_pocThe back of I Have the Right to Destory Myself reads:
"A spectral, nameless narrator haunts the lost and wounded of big-city Seoul, suggesting solace in suicide. Wandering through the bright lights of their high-urban existence, C and K are brothers who fall in love with the same woman - Se-yeon. As their lives intersect, they tear at each other in a struggle to find connection in their fast-paced, atomized world. Dreamlike and cinematic, I Have the Right to Destroy Myself brilliantly affirms Young-ha Kim as Korea's leading young literary master."
It is a very short book, only 119 pages, but it is very dark, and very bleak. Initially, because the story was so dark, and the characters were so depressed and disinterested in their own lives, I did not enjoy the book, and I struggled with it. However the last third of the book is very well written, and ties up the story in such a very precise way that I have to say that I really respect Young-ha Kim's writing ability, even if the book itself was not an enjoyable one.
