Ji-won's life is in disarray. Her father's affair has ripped her family to shreds, leaving her to piece their crappy lives back together.

So, when her mother's obnoxious new white boyfriend enters the scene, bragging about his flawed knowledge of Korean culture and ogling Asian waitresses in restaurants, Ji-won's hold over her emotions strains. As he gawks at her and her sister around their claustrophobic apartment, Ji-won becomes more and more obsessed with his brilliant blue eyeballs.

As her fixation and rage grow, Ji-won decides that she must do the one thing that will save her family... and also curb her cravings.

The Eyes are the Best Part

Enjoyable! Hard not to draw parallels to Boy Parts (which from my understanding is also difficult to separate from American Psycho, a book I haven't read), but I think the... antagonists, I guess, in Eyes are a little more realized, and Ji-Won's actions a little more justified. All the same, I'm not sure this will stick with me quite as much

Delicious, but could've used a couple more minutes in the oven

The protagonist isn't afraid to get her hands dirty in this Asian American story of vengeance. Printed in the worst layout I've seen.
