Going Hungry: Writers on Desire, Self-Denial, and Overcoming Anorexia

Kate M. Taylor, "Going Hungry: Writers on Desire, Self-Denial, and Overcoming Anorexia"
English | 2008 | pages: 306 | ISBN: 0307278344 | EPUB | 0,3 mb

Here, collected for the first time, 19 writers describe their eating disorders from the distance of recovery, exposing as never before the anorexic's self-enclosed world. 
“This anthology lends remarkable texture to a subject that has been too often sensationalized and oversimplified.” —The New York Times
Taking up issues including depression, genetics, sexuality, sports, religion, fashion and family, these essays examine the role anorexia plays in a young person's search for direction. Powerful and immensely informative, this collection makes accessible the mindset of a disease that has long been misunderstood.
With essays by Priscilla Becker, Francesca Lia Block, Maya Browne, Jennifer Egan, Clara Elliot, Amanda Fortini, Louise Glück, Latria Graham, Francine du Plessix Gray, Trisha Gura, Sarah Haight, Lisa Halliday, Elizabeth Kadetsky, Maura Kelly, Ilana Kurshan, Joyce Maynard, John Nolan, Rudy Ruiz, and Kate Taylor.
