Description 작품 소개

What is the price of youth? Would you buy another person’s even if it meant literally sucking the life out of them, leaving them a comatose husk in the process?

This is the question posed by award-winning novelist, essayist, and activist Choi Jeong-Hwa in her new novel HORMONE SWAP. With her characteristic wit, irreverence, and insight, she offers a compelling and poignant look into the lives and minds of hormone buyers, sellers, brokers, and everyone else embroiled in this dog-eat-dog market. Through flawed but fascinating characters and an eerily prescient dystopian setting, Choi grapples with what it means to survive in a society that is not only ageist, but fully gerontophobic.

With echoes of The Substance and Squid Game, HORMONE SWAP has mass appeal, especially for readers who enjoy strong female voices, sharp social commentary, and dark humor in the vein of Bora Chung and Mariana Enriquez.
