"“Fernanda Eberstadt is blessed with more gifts than any one writer should be […]. Her prose is exuberantly, obscenely rich.” * Lauren Elkin, author of Art Monsters * ""Ravishing and provocative, Bite Your Friends is in an invitation into bodily power as well as a history of resistance, deviance and refusal of all kinds."" * Olivia Laing, author of Crudo and The Lonely City * ""With a thrilling combination of erudition and wit, Fernanda Eberstadt takes us on a journey across decades, centuries, and millennia to explore the ways in which artists and activists have used the body as a site of political, religious, and personal resistance. Eberstadt unearths little known stories from antiquity and elegantly draws connections between these and contemporary examples, mapping a vast territory of ideas that are as captivating as they are convincing. Bite Your Friends is a knockout.""  * Marisa Silver, author of Little Nothing *"

“Fernanda Eberstadt is blessed with more gifts than any one writer should be […]. Her prose is exuberantly, obscenely rich.” * The Washington Post *
