Reviews

« This book is a unique attempt to understand literary and autobiographical accounts on eating disorders from a cultural perspective. It is respectful of the extensive scientific literature on eating disorders, and yet it addresses previous literary theory accounts, such as those of Ellmann and Heywood, as well as broader issues in literary theory. (Richard Gordon, Ph.D. Author, 'Anorexia and Bulimia: Anatomy of a Social Epidemic')
