I can't control myself from ordering fried chicken in the middle of the night, but I can insist on getting up at five o'clock in the morning every day to write - this is a collection of essays by Park Sang-young, a writer who wants to overeat when he encounters pressure, describing the joys and sorrows of work and life. The author candidly, sincerely and wittyly tells his real life story of repeatedly losing weight and giving up, and spending countless nights blaming himself while overeating. He was hurt by his family of origin, college entrance exams, and interpersonal relationships. He hated going to work but needed to make money. He wanted to pursue his dream of writing, wanted to escape far away, wanted to have love but was afraid of disappointment. The happiness of the senses was always short-lived and illusory. "Appearance supremacy" became more and more popular... Using "late night gluttony" as the pretext, this book records a contemporary young man's keen observation of society and life, ruthless complaints and bitter satire, as well as the flickering hope and warmth.
