The men in this book are written in contrast to the women- never using names and only referring to their own hungers and the ways they unabashedly pursue them.
I thought this book was going to be about pure OCD, but I was terribly wrong.
Also- marital rape was still legal a the time this was published in South Korea. Seriously strong trigger warnings here
